Pre-Conference Workshops

In addition to the main conference program, there are two additional pre-conference workshops available: Planning best practice waste education and engagement projects and Best practice waste management for local councils.  

Workshop 1: Planning best practice waste education and engagement projects

This workshop will step you through how to plan your next waste education and engagement project using best practice principles. You will become familiar with an easy and freely available project plan template you can use to plan, manage, evaluate and promote your next project. Using 'Right from the Start!' will give you the confidence to design waste education projects that not only educate the community, but also empower them to become active citizens in caring for our environment.
