Join us to explore a growing field of activity where opportunities to learn for climate are embedded in place.

First Hand Open Learning Design Day will bring together change-makers from local government, local business, place stewards, education and community networks who are driving climate, skills and social value agendas on the ground.

What we’ll do:

  • Explore learning as critical infrastructure for change: what we need and how we can build it.
  • Hear examples from practice: across real-world, local initiatives in circular economy, food, energy, and retrofit.
  • Unpack the toolkit: how to shape place-based, hands-on, collaborative learning from open days to secondments.
  • Address a shared challenge: what’s our blueprint for learning as a critical infrastructure for accelerating climate skills and action?

You’ll leave with:

  • Clarity on our collective learning and skills challenge and how you might address it
  • Real examples of learning formats and models that are working now for your peers
  • New ideas to test in your organisation, sector, discipline or neighbourhood
  • Connections with other changemakers who are building capability for sustainable futures.

Agenda, speakers and sign up HERE.
