Training at the Environment Centre
Understanding Behaviour Change
A Day School with Jonathan Upton
on Thursday 26th January 2012 10am-4pm.
If you work or volunteer in the third sector, local government or the NHS you will already know that ‘changing behaviour’ is a key objective of most environmental, social or political campaigns. This training event will be of particular interest to YOU.
Our day school will look at what organisations are already doing - whether to persuade individuals to adopt more environmentally friendly behaviours, or healthier life styles or indeed any other positive social outcome. Crucially we will discuss how simply giving people the ‘right’ information and hoping that this will trigger the ‘right’change in behaviour so often fails to deliver.
Course fee is just £5, includes tea and coffee, but not lunch. Please book early to avoid disappointment, booking forms are available from bookings@environmentcentre.org.uk. Poster HERE
