Environmental Training at Trafford Hall

Trafford Hall has received funding from The Tudor Trust to run a pilot training session which will be designed to support communities in their response to environmental challenges. In order to develop a truly effective course program we need to know what is important to you and what type of training could help you to make a difference in your community. This is a unique chance for you to tell us what you want!

It would be extremely helpful to us if you could take the time to answer the questions below. Just a couple of sentences to answer each question would be greatly appreciated  you do not need to have any previous experience of environmental training to make a contribution to this. Please send us your reply by September 25th 2009.

In response to your feedback, we will be running a free taster training day in November. Please let us know in your reply if you would be interested in attending this event. We will provide lunch and contribute towards your travel expenses on the day.

THE QUESTIONS

1. Do climate change and the environment matter? If so, what do you think are the most important issues?

2. Do these issues directly affect you and your community? If so, how?

3. Do you have access to the information and resources needed to address any of these issues?

4. What type of training on environmental and sustainability topics would be useful to you and your community? Please list three topics e.g. saving energy, gardening skills etc. We will assume that everybody wants to know about grant funding so please dont list that as one of your topics.

5. How do you think improving the environmental sustainability of your community could help to solve other problems e.g. anti-social behaviour, isolation?

6. What does 'community resilience' mean to you?

7. Would you be interested in attending a taster training day at Trafford Hall in November?
