ASP is a diverse, international community of practitioners: artists, consultants, business owners, academics, journalists, authors, coaches and facilitators of all ages from elders to young people.exists to connect, challenge and support sustainability practitioners as we learn together how to move from unsustainable to sustainable practices.
We create spaces for inter-generational learning events on a broad range of sustainability-related topics and other opportunities for people to meet face-to-face and online.
We are proud to be supporting the inaugural Humber Eco Fest 2023, conceived and organised by Creative and Cultural.
These events are created by ASP Members to support the people in the Humber region and compliment their own live events and activities in the area.
Each ASP event fits into one of the categories. The context is designed to help you select the ones to meet your needs:
