Teachers' Environment Network - How to run sustainability activities

Are you a school or early learning centre educator interested in teaching your students about sustainability? Get motivated at Brimbank's Teachers' Environment Network (TEN) professional development event where an expert from Environment Education Victoria (EEV) will demonstrate various educational environmental activities that you can run with your school or ELC students.

In this workshop, we'll demonstrate two or three sustainability actions that you can run in your school or early learning centre, such as:

• Radical Recycle Relay: Students will learn how to sort recyclables in a fun and competitive game 
• Insect Safari: Students will be able to identify features of different minibeasts/insects and how they have adapted to their environments. Part of this activity is how to catch insects for ID, to release after the session.
• Whole school transport audit: Running an active transport survey at an educational facility to capture how people travel to school, and how we can improve active transport numbers.

This event is open to teachers and staff who work at schools and early learning centres from all council areas.

This venue is wheelchair accessible. Photos and video will be taken at this event, but there is an option to opt out on the day.

This event is proudly presented by Brimbank City Council on the Country of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurung peoples of the Kulin nation. Brimbank City Council pays our respect to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledges that First Nations peoples have cared for Country sustainably for tens of thousands of years.
