Sharing knowledge and experiences on nature and resilience through live and online experiences

 Colin draws on a lifetime of passion for sustainability issues and the concept of Education for Sustainable Development promoted by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) as he offers environmental and sustainability education that shares the big picture. Presentations, workshops and public speaking are available, in-person (COVID safety considerations permitting) and online.  

"Education for Sustainable Development aims to help people to develop the attitudes, skills, perspectives and knowledge to make informed decisions and act upon them for the benefit of themselves and others, now and in the future."
