Live Online Workshops
Our open online course Sustainable Futures looks at how trade and the things we buy are linked to environmental and social degradation and how we can transition to a green economy and a sustainable future.

1st Webinar:
look at the concept of global responsibility and the Well-being of Future Generations Act. Explore our global connections and consider their meaning in our own lives. We examine our values and offer a range of activities that apply our values to globally responsible behaviours.
Then we look at the concept of sustainability, what Fair Trade does and how some organisations are beginning their transition to sustainable businesses.

We then consider the challenge of Net Zero and the things we buy. We look at the complexity of supply chains and embedded supply chain problems. Look at a range of steps workplaces and individuals can take to become more sustainable.
