Consultancy, Facilitated Workshops & Talks
We are delighted to take part in consultancy work that supports our members’ aims and objectives. We have worked on in-depth, independent reviews of programmes for large organisations and we have consulted on projects that include learning for sustainability. We also work with organisations to develop their LfS activities and we can deliver workshops or talks on LfS and the SDGs.
If you’d like to speak to us about consultancy work, delivering workshops, or presenting at an event or meeting – or any other projects or plans you need help with, please contact the staff team and we will be happy to chat things though with you.

We provide regular seminars and events for audiences from across a wide range of sectors and you can view details of upcoming and past events in our ‘Events’ section
Policy advice and Consultations
Learning for Sustainability Scotland responds to consultations on relevant policy issues, and comments on particular political events. We’re very keen to ensure that our members’ voices are heard and wherever possible, we offer webinars and other opportunities for members to hear more and share their thoughts on particular issues. If you would like us to respond formally to an area of policy or a specific issue, please get in touch.
Outputs from these events are free to use for our members and are for sharing among networks, colleagues and anyone who is interested. Please do make sure that Learning for Sustainability Scotland is credited whenever the reports and documents are used. We are always happy to hear how they’ve benefited you so please keep in touch to let us know when you’ve used something.
