Sustainability courses at the Eden Project

Green Foundation offers a range of short sustainability programmes designed and delivered by the Eden Project. The courses use our fantastic site as a ‘living classroom’ to inspire and empower individuals and teams to innovate, collaborate and lead positive change within and beyond their organisations.

The award-winning Green Foundation programme has already helped hundreds of business make real tangible changes, to save money, mitigate risk, grasp new opportunities, collaborate and create competitive advantage within a low-carbon economy.

Inspirational training in an iconic venue

During the programme, participants aren’t just sitting in a classroom, but get to go behind the scenes at Eden, meeting staff, learning about their operations and the opportunities to introduce sustainability into the business. Our programmes are specially designed to be:

• Interactive; delegates don’t just sit in a classroom but take part in group activities and tours behind the scenes at Eden.
• Inspirational; participants learn about other businesses and organisations that have made positive change.
• Empowering; those who take part come away with the confidence, knowledge and tools to implement change in their workplace and beyond.
• Collaborative; delegates go through the programme shoulder-to-shoulder with other businesses or colleagues, learning from them.
  

What you'll learn at Green Foundation

The carefully designed workshops and interactive activities will help you understand:

• how to cut through carbon and energy jargon and understand what sustainability means for your organisation
• how sustainable operations can represent a robust, practical response to key business challenges
• what environmental and social good practices look like and how you can respond to emerging opportunities within the low carbon economy and can innovate within your own organisation
• how to put into practice what you’ve learnt, and have positive impact within your business, through better communication, engagement and collaboration

Who's running it

Green Foundation is designed and run by the Eden Project, a social enterprise, educational charity and tourist attraction with over 10 years’ experience of tackling sustainability issues. We started this programme because we know, from our own work, how complex these issues can be – and because we see Eden as 'a meeting place for conversations' with people like you.
