Masterclass Session 1 - Building relationships in the community
This Masterclass session will be the first in a series of eight. A schedule of dates and topics for the masterclass sessions can be found on the Hume City Council website.
The Enviro Champions masterclass sessions provide in-depth training in the key knowledge and skills you will need to plan and run a successful community-led project.
Anyone with a passion for the environment and sustainability can attend the masterclasses. There is no requirement to complete the introductory course before attending.

This masterclass will provide the opportunity to network with like-minded people and share your ideas about taking action for the environment and sustainability in Hume.
To be eligible to attend the masterclass series, you must currently live, work, study or volunteer in Hume.
What to expect
Building relationships in the community is an essential part of running a successful environmental or sustainability project with the community.
