SuStainable StAlbans Week

News update! Creative Collaboration and Sharing session

Wed 21st June 6-8pm at St Paul’s Church, Blandford Rd, St Albans AL1 4JP

for Community, Schools, Business and Faith groups

When groups evaluated 2016 Sustainable St Albans Week a key request was for more sharing earlier in the planning process.

So we’re having a Creative Collaboration Event. All groups, big and small, are invited to come and share their ideas for SuStAinable StAlbans Week events, and see if natural collaborations evolve out of them.

It doesn’t matter if you have run an event in previous years or not – if you belong to a local group – of any kind – here is your opportunity to think early about taking part in the next Sustainable StAlbans Week which takes place 21-29 April 2018.

It really helps us to know numbers, so please book a free ticket here: https://sustweek18collaboration.eventbrite.co.uk

The NEXT Sustainable StAlbans Week will take place from 21 – 29 April in 2018. We will be running events to bring groups together this year 2017 – so look out for information. To stay up to date please join our mailing list – see Contact Page click here

We listened to you! We did lots of evaluations, including surveys and in-depth conversations and thank-you to everyone who took part.

You wanted it to take place during warmer months – it will be April!
You wanted even more collaboration and sharing – we will help you with events over the next year.
You wanted more notice to organise events – this helps with lots of time to prepare

The 2016 week has now finished – thank-you so much to everyone who took part, whether organising an event or schools activity, or taking part! To see lots more photos click here
