Environmental education calendar for teachers

Our teacher workshops have been developed to meet curriculum needs and support existing programmes such as Enviroschools. These pages are updated regularly to include new events and to confirm dates – ensure you have a link to this site!

Most of the events below will be promoted directly to schools and also via the School Support Services Environmental Education Advisor. All workshops are free for participating teachers.

Find out more about any of the workshops, or to register your interest, please email Dean King.

Teachers are also encouraged to check out our events calendar for other environmental events.

For more information email Dean King.
