Action Learner Workshops

A collaborative, game‑based workshop that uses evidence‑based sustainability science to make complex systems understandable and empowering.

Collaboration is key as participants work together to build a map of the climate system and foster a deeper understanding of climate science. Once armed with scientific knowledge, certified facilitators deliver content and facilitate open discussions around sustainable solutions and individual action-taking, tailored to the specific audience.

While there is an online delivery option, Action Learner Workshops are most effective when delivered in person.

What participants are saying

The session hosted by the Brisbane Sustainability Agency was absolutely phenomenal. Having started the session feeling quite apathetic and overwhelmed by the climate crisis, our students then reported that by the end, they felt inspired, motivated, and empowered to make an impact by creating their own innovative solutions. This transformation in perspective was fostered by the care, detail and depth of the explanations provided by the facilitators during the session. Moreover, our students felt more determined than ever to work in careers that counteract the effects of climate change.

I loved the multi-modal delivery with lots of engaging videos and activities. It helped my understanding of the interconnectedness of climate change factors, delivered in a fun and interesting way. I loved the critical conversations I could have with my team mates when figuring out how things linked together. Overall found the training to be quite moving, scary to realise the extent of human impact, confronting to learn about the damage that has been done, but inspiring to know that we can take action and I’m feeling empowered by the knowledge I gained. Thank you.”
