New Guide Beside Program 2011

Professional Development Workshops for Sustainability Facilitators
VAEE's Guiding Change workshops have been developed over eight years to provide educators with the best learning-based change practices, project planning & evaluation.

[Guide Beside Logo of hand]<http://www.vaee.vic.edu.au/Homepage/Guide%20Beside%20Logo>
This practical project based workshop program is designed so that participants learn the secrets of how the most effective sustainability educators achieve change, and transform their own practice to become confident and focused agents of change.

Facilitating Change & Building Partnerships - 9am-4.30pm Friday 13 May

Planning and Evaluating Programs & Projects - 9am-4.30pm Friday 17 June

"I think a huge strength of the workshops was the practical problem solving ... The principles are fantastic... There was great value in work-shopping my ideas... The tools and skills we learnt at the workshop-  we are applying immediately."

The GuideBeside workshops will assist you to:

  *   Facilitate groups of people, programs and projects to deliver measurable outcomes for sustainability
