An energising experiential workshop. Discover how behavioural science can engage stakeholders in your environmental targets and goals
About this Event

When prioties shift, keep environmental projects and targets on course with behavioural psychology.

Are you leading a net zero, construction or wider sustainability project?

Does it feel like changing political, economic and organisational priorities have left your environmental goals at the bottom of the pile?

Do you need your stakeholders to get back on board to unlock the full potential of your environmental project?

When you’re dealing with varied stakeholder groups, not everyone will be motivated by net zero targets, pollution reduction, or nature benefits.

And despite all the planning, time, and energy you put in, you can’t afford for your project to fall short of its goals.

The good news? Behavioural science provides practical tools you can embed in your project design, engagement strategy and crisis communications to increase buy-in and drive action.

Manchester Morning Workshop
Join Sustainability and Behaviour Change Consultant, Livvy Drake, for an energising experiential taster workshop where we’ll explore:

  • Key Barriers – Understand why different stakeholders may resist or disengage, and how to anticipate these challenges.
  • Proven Tactics – Learn tried-and-tested behaviour change tools you can immediately add to your project management toolkit.

Why join?

  • Gain practical, engaging insights you can put into action straight away.
  • Connect with other project managers facing similar challenges.
  • Enjoy tasty snacks provided by The Sustainable Sidekicks.

Spaces are limited to 10 participants.


Fees

All fees after drinks will be donated to charity Trees for Palestine, planting Olive Trees in the West Bank.
