Bulletin, Policy Updates & Resources

About the Bulletin

At the start of each month, we produce a jam-packed bulletin which we email out free to our members. It’s an amazing resource for anybody with an interest in all things related to learning for sustainability.

As well as keeping you up to date with courses and events, we use the bulletin as a way to promote our members’ hard work – and we celebrate learning for sustainability practitioners in our ‘photo of the month’ sections.

Have a read through our previous issues and if you have anything you’d like to send us for inclusion in a future edition, contact our bulletin editor, Katie. 

Policy and research updates

Our quarterly policy and research updates bring you a selection of the latest publicly-available consultations, research and policy reports relating to Learning for Sustainability in Scotland, elsewhere in the UK, and internationally.
