This project aimed to provide an opportunity to learn from existing best practice and facilitate new schemes by example as part of a push to engage local communities in a push for enhanced sustainable development
The aim of the project was to provide a NE Regional Competition for education providers that would promote sustainability within a variety of curriculum areas. At the same time creating a bridge between sustainability and enterprise which would promote the concept of self-employment based around the idea of ‘sustainability’ as a realistic future option for learners.
The key purpose of this project was to build the capacity of member organisations to be the Sustainability Leaders for the Region. Initial stages would focus on developing the sustainability policy and strategy in each organisation, with future activity focusing on disseminating good practice across and beyond the boundaries of the region.
This project started from the position of the Green economy as one of the main growth areas of the economy, and the need for the effective, efficient and rapid deployment of appropriate skills flexibly, responsively and innovatively to empower learners and employees. The aim of the project was to identify the types of skills required in the Green economy and to find ways of delivering these skills in the sector.
This project aimed to engage learners in sustainable activities through developing an exciting Sustainability Enrichment Programme, designed through learners’ and partners’ input. A transferable toolkit pack was to be produced, accessible on the college’s website.

The main aims of the project were to: develop and deliver a 'training the trainers/mentors' learning package on carbon free and environmental sustainability; develop and deliver a new unit on carbon free and environmental sustainability to sit alongside existing employability training modules; develop information and guidance on training and career and progression routes in carbon free and environmental sustainability industries; and support a cohort of participants to attend training on ‘'Understanding Sustainable Refurbishment'.
The aim of this project was to work with 20 trainee teachers to design and test a programme of activities and lessons that embed sustainability into the formal curriculum. The project formed part of their assessed work on the DTLLS course and provided learners, with an opportunity to gain a valuable insight into embedding sustainability into the curriculum. The project also sought to raise awareness amongst the target group of the importance of sustainability to their future employability and introduce participants to the concept of sustainability and how to apply it.
