Opportunities & Training
Carbon Literacy Training
Our Carbon Literacy Course for Events offers an accessible and interactive education on how festivals and outdoor events can begin, or further reduce their carbon emissions, and look after people and the planet. A carbon literacy certification will be awarded on completion of the two-day course.
The course can be booked here now, with dates available throughout the year, and costs £200 per person. More dates will be released soon and discounts are available for organisations wishing to train over 4 people per course.
The course has been developed with The Carbon Literacy Project, which was recognised as one of 100 worldwide Transformative Action Programs at the UN at COP21, in Paris. Day one consists of education, accessible teachings about the climate crisis, the science around climate change, how this relates to events, and what needs to be done to reduce global warming. Day two is all about action, empowering you on how you can make a difference, as an individual, as a group working on an event, as an event organiser and as a community.
Two fully subsidised places are offered per course, for those on a low income and living in Manchester, as part of helping Manchester to become a Carbon Literate City.

Testimonial
“I recently completed the Carbon Literacy course tailored for the events industry, and I wanted to take a moment to commend the course leader for her delivery throughout the training.
Cordi was not only knowledgeable and engaging but also incredibly understanding and supportive of everyone on the course. Her insight into the challenges and opportunities specific to the events sector brought a valuable and practical perspective to the subject of climate change, making the content feel especially relevant and actionable.
What really stood out was her ability to approach some of the more emotive and difficult topics with genuine compassion and care. She created a safe, respectful learning environment that encouraged open discussion and reflection, which was much appreciated.
Overall, her passion and industry expertise made this course both inspiring and impactful.”
