Testimonials

“I’ve found the resources on the ESD digital platform really beneficial – they’re practical and well-organised and I like how you can work at your own pace. . . I found the meeting I attended useful as it is good to hear where others are on their journeys and for sparking new ideas.”

“Great to have guidance in one place, and simple to follow. I think having a network is great and wonderful to know you could talk things through with someone if needs be or bounce ideas off.

“As we are only starting our journey, the advice and resources on how to start engaging with staff and getting them involved was very encouraging and enlightening, especially on taking first steps setting up a sustainable team. I also found the audit resources invaluable as it gives a hook into what areas to focus on as a school . . . . Overall the resources have supported me to start conversations with my colleagues on topics to embed the SDG which I would not have thought of.”
