Description

Take the next step to becoming a Sustainability Champion and join other Edmonton non-profts for an evening of networking and learning.

On Thursday, November 15th, we're inviting those who have successfully completed the Sustainability Champions Workshop Series for an evening social focused on how social-innovation-thinking can help amplify this work in our communities.

Participants will learn from other organizations working in the sustainability and social innovation space and hear from Think Jar Collective's Ben Weinlick, who will lead a discussion on: Design for systems change in social space. In this talk Ben will share stories, tangible examples and surface some of the tensions that exist when applying design for good.

This opportunity is being offered as part of the NGO Sustainability Champions Workshop Series hosted by The Natural Step Canada in partnership with Edmonton Community of Voluntary Organizations and Edmonton Community Foundation.
