A Greener Festival announce dates for this year’s training courses an “Introduction to Environmental Assessment of Festivals and Events” and our “A Greener Festival Assessors Training”.
Following the success of our courses in 2016 we are once again delivering training for those who wish to become A Greener Festival assessors and carry out our audits of festivals and events.
This year we are also offering an Introductory Course for those who simply want to learn more about the environmental assessment of festivals and events. The content for both courses draws upon our 10 years of experience assessing festivals around the world as well as associate expertise in areas such as waste management, power, transport, land use, communication and behaviour.
There are a limited number of places available on our Assessor Training, which is a 1.5 day course and is being delivered in Manchester at Manchester Metropolitan University on Thursday 4th and Friday 5th May. (For those unable to make these dates or location we operate a waiting list).
To find out more and to reserve a space on either course, or if you are a festival wishing to participate in the awards, contact hello@agreenerfestival.com
