Who’s it for?
This intensive practical course takes place over 5 days onsite and has places for up to 20 participants. (TBC)
It is targeted at Film and TV professionals, who want to learn more about how to run a business and/or large projects in a sustainable way, and at individuals who look at fulfilling the role of a green or sustainable coordinator or monitor within their company or project. The ideal candidate will have attended a carbon literacy course or session. For those not yet inducted we will provide ample pointers on where to obtain a carbon literacy introduction and a short digital recap before the beginning of the course.
Participants should have a project, challenge or sustainability goal(s) in mind to which they can apply the course learnings.
The Institute is aiming for gender parity, so strongly encourages female teams. We are keen to promote equality across all its training programmes with a focus on inclusivity across gender, abilities, ethnicity and socio-economic status.
