Eco-Salons and College Sustainability: Education for Sustainable Development in FE TSN - Resources

This TSN was organised in association with The Academy of Hair, Beauty, Sport & Fitness at Fife College, and hosted at their Halbeath Campus in Dunfermline on the 17th March 2015.

This free half-day event allowed attendees the opportunity to explore Fife College’s new Eco-Salon, and hear from the students and staff who work in the Salon and on sustainability elsewhere in the College, as well as a number of other speakers. Elaine Crawford from Dumfries and Galloway College gave a short introduction to her free workbooks which bring sustainability ideas into different college curricula, focusing on her new Beauty workbook, and John Salter, the Network Convenor, discussed progress and successes across the FE sector in Education for Sustainability. The Learning for Sustainability Scotland team briefly discussed their Task Groups and invite ideas to explore around education for sustainability in FE, and Rebecca Petford from EAUC-Scotland gave an introduction to LiFE, the EAUC’s planning and self-assessment tool for whole-institutional sustainability.
