Join us for a Professional Development workshop on March 2nd, at the Flagship Education Centre, Auckland Central. Made possible by Auckland Council’s Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund.

Our  Litter Intelligence Education Programme (LIEP) is an intensive programme which focuses on building learners’ connection to nature by first engaging them in our citizen science project (involving beach litter surveys and audits), and then, through a learning journey, implores them to create an action to combat a litter issue in their community – and beyond!

Over the course of the day, you will participate in this experiential learning approach through the eyes of the learners’, connecting with like-minded educators to complete mini environmental challenges.

Please contact Becky at [email protected] with any queries.

Thank you for your engagement in our Litter Intelligence Education Programme so far!

Please join us for a Professional Development workshop on June 2nd, 2021 in East Auckland, funded by the Howick Local Board, to take you through an in-depth look into our Litter Intelligence Education Programme. Over the course of the day, you will participate in this experiential learning approach through the eyes of the learners’, connecting with like-minded educators to complete mini environmental challenges.

Our inclusive programme is designed to be tailored to suit a variety of educational contexts and age groups, and can be applied to new and existing local initiatives. So even if you are not an in-school educator we would still love to see you there!

This is an action-packed six-hour workshop designed to develop a practical understanding of our programme and the supporting resources involved. We have limited relief-teacher funding and spaces available, so get in quick by registering at the link above.
