Sustainability activities for educators – Brimbank’s Teachers’ Environment Network event

Are you a school or early learning centre educator interested in teaching your students about sustainability? Get ideas and inspiration at this Brimbank’s Teachers’ Environment Network (TEN) professional development event. 

In this workshop on Thursday 21 November, an expert from Environment Education Victoria (EEV) will demonstrate educational environmental activities that you can run with your school or early learning centre students, including: 

• Radical Recycle Relay: Students will learn how to sort recyclables in a fun and competitive game
• Insect Safari: Students will be able to identify features of different minibeasts/insects and how they have adapted to their environments. Part of this activity is how to catch insects for ID, to release after the session.
• Whole school transport audit: Running an active transport survey at an educational facility to capture how people travel to school, and how we can improve active transport numbers.

This event is open to teachers and staff who work at schools and early learning centres from all council areas.

Venue is wheelchair accessible. Photos and video will be taken at this event, but there is an option to opt out on the day.

This event is proudly presented by Brimbank City Council on the Country of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurung peoples of the Kulin nation. Brimbank City Council pays our respect to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledges that First Nations peoples have cared for Country sustainably for tens of thousands of years.
