The Morning Break with Dorian Brown 18-03-22: Greener governance and sustainability

Dorian welcomes Laura Barke and Lee Jowett into the studio for a fabulous discussion about how school leaders and teachers can implement impactful strategies for schools to become more sustainable. We talk about how greener governance should empower leaders and teachers to weave sustainability into the curriculum, craft sustainability policies and engage with local communities and councils to help schools achieve sustainability targets. Both Lee and Laura offer some practical ideas to ‘get the ball rolling’ from a classroom level all the way up. Their knowledge, experience and passion for sustainability education in schools shines through in this thoroughly enjoyable talk and there are takeaways for everybody, at whatever stage your schools are in your sustainability journeys.
