“My Sustainability Vision” - Online Workshop for Educators

Teach from the heart. Lead with purpose. 

Sustainability education matters - and it’s even more powerful when it connects to your values and purpose.

Discover your personal “why” for teaching sustainability in this deeply reflective workshop facilitated by Verity McLucas from EEV.  Through guided reflection, you’ll create your own "Sustainability Vision" - a statement that brings clarity, confidence and direction to your teaching, and readiness to embed sustainability more meaningfully. 

You'll leave with a unique statement that grounds your practice and helps you embed sustainability more meaningfully every day, plus 5 steps you can take over the next 6-12 months that link directly to achieving your Sustainability Vision.

Tickets:

• EEV Members: $5.00

• RSS Active Schools: $5.00

• All others: $10.00

✅ Certificate of participation provided

PLEASE NOTE: 

• For this session you will need to write notes in response to key questions. If using paper and pen, you'll need a couple of pieces of A4 sized paper (or equivalent). You will also be asked to share some of your responses, if you feel comfortable. Given the interactive and personal focus of this workshop, it will NOT be recorded.

• It's important that you arrive on time - the workshop is based around a sequence of questions that build your sustainability vision, so you need to be there from the start so you don't miss any questions. We will not be able to stop and go back to the start if you join late otherwise the workshop will run over time. 

Oceans and Waterways: Growing Blue Minds

Wed, 9 Sep 2026

4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

This educator-focused webinar explores the urgent challenges facing our oceans: urban runoff and pollution, shifting ocean currents driven by climate change, and the cascading effects on fish populations, extreme weather, and vulnerable island and low-lying communities.

Our oceans are crucial for our survival and our planet's health, and education is key to inspiring the next generation to continue protecting them.

Featuring leading voices in teaching and learning about oceans and climate change, this rich conversation will share how hope and action are flourishing through education.

Panel members:

• Kal Glanznig - ocean advocate, NSW Shire councillor, and creator of the new doco ‘The Plastic Country’

• Dr. Josh Cubillo - Associate Director, Murrup Barak from the University of Melbourne

• Meg Bailey - Science teacher and meteorologist from Templestowe College 

• Greg Fletcher - Senior Policy Officer, Waterway Health from the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action

• Naomi - Native Fish Australia volunteer and student from Templestowe College

• Priya - Student Sustainability Captain from Templestowe College

Designed for Primary and Secondary educators, attendees will also receive a curated collection of teaching and learning resources from EEV and Cool.org.

Whether you're landlocked or coastal, the waterways in your backyard connect to a vast global system, and the choices made in our cities and towns ripple all the way to the sea. Join us to walk away with the knowledge, inspiration, and ready-to-use resources to bring ocean literacy to life in your classroom.

A Zoom link and reminder will be emailed to you in the days prior to the event.
