This Masterclass session will be the second 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.
You are welcome to attend all of the masterclasses in the series, or just the ones that meet your specific skill development needs.
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
Behaviour change is a key requirement for protecting the natural environment and supporting sustainable practices in the community. Without behaviour change society will keep using more resources than the environment can produce or dispose of.
Human's are complex and their behaviours even more so. This masterclass will be presented by Michaela Lang, doctor of behavioual science, who will provide a simple yet effective understanding of how to encourage community to do the behaviour you would like to see.
It isn't what you think... providing information on why or why not doesn't change behaviour! During the session we will break down how to define the behaviour you would like to see or change, provide activities to help you understand the concepts and how they could relate to your project ideas.
What to bring
This will be an indoor event, please bring;
- Laptop or tablet (there will be power points available for charging devices)
- pen and paper
Afternoon tea will be provided
