It has been said that only two things are certain in life – death and taxes – but there is a third – Change. We are constantly affected by change – at work, in the community and even at home. Framed within the context of sustainability, the workshop focuses on strategies designed to shift people’s thinking (and hence their behaviour); providing practical, useful tools to increase participants’ abilities to influence others towards sustainable behaviour change using strategies drawn from psychological and sustainability research and practice. The workshop incorporates practical exercises that are designed to give participants the confidence and ability to apply the concepts discussed in the session in a variety of settings. The workshop will assist participants to: Define sustainable behaviour change, Understand the fundamental questions that need to be considered in undertaking change, Identify the levels of action, Know the attributes required for sustainable behaviour change and Apply actions for sustained change. Most notably, using their own individual real-life practical examples, participants will discover ways to implement and influence positive changes.
