Wellbeing and Sustainability: Bridging Education with the Third Sector for a Greener Future

In this dynamic workshop, we'll explore the intersection of wellbeing, sustainability, and the pivotal role of the Third Sector (nonprofits, NGOs, and social enterprises) in creating impactful change within educational settings. Participants will discover innovative strategies for integrating sustainability practices into school culture while fostering a holistic approach to student and staff wellbeing. We'll uncover how partnering with Third Sector organizations can provide unique opportunities for schools to model social responsibility, enhance community engagement, and build a sustainable future for all. Attendees will leave with practical tools and a strategic roadmap to align their institutions with global sustainability goals and support the wellbeing of their entire school community.
