Sustainability Workshop: Future Success for Low Carbon Communities - the next step forward

1st Jul 2015 10:00 – 16:00

Theme: Future success for Low Carbon Communities – the next step forward
Facilitators: Howard Lee (Hadlow College), members of the HadLOW CARBON Community and other Low C Groups in Kent

This FREE workshop will explore the concept of low Carbon communities – What are they? How have they developed? What are the common factors? What have been the successes? How can we learn from experiences to replicate success more widely? Sessions will be highly interactive and maximise networking and discussion opportunities.

This workshop will be informal – participants do not need to be experts! If you have little experience and just want to attend and learn more, that would be most welcome.
