Upcoming Training
Sustainability Series
This autumn we are running a series of training sessions on Sustainability aimed at those who are engaged with the built environment in the Cultural Sector. We feel that the built environment is often omitted from conversations about sustainability and museums, neglecting an integral aspect of the cultural sector which has a central role to play in making the sector, society and the environment healthier and more resilient. The Series will be supporting the Cultural Sector to deliver effective change in building operation for organisations looking to produce thoughtful, robust and creative solutions.
