Sustainability

Our fourth theme is sustainability. Within this theme participants explore the ways in which they can make small differences to help look after our beautiful yet fragile world.​ Like all our value’s, sustainability is woven into everything that we do. We understand sustainability as being the ability to maintain and support a process continuously over time. It is about meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This refers not only to natural resources but also to social and economic ones as sustainability is embedded in social equity and economic development. Our core value definition of it is:

“To use methods that do not harm the environment so that natural resources are still available in the future. To be able to support eco-systems so they can continue over a period of time”

​

​Like all of our programmes of study the way in which we cover this theme will be different for every group of students. Their input, ideas, fascinations and interests will fuel the provision but a number of common threads will appear linked to ourselves, others and the environment.
