Sustainability – Decarbonising Education

Join a focused event at MidKent College Maidstone Campus exploring how education can reduce its carbon footprint and respond to climate change. Sustainability and ecological impact are some of the biggest challenges of our time, and this session examines practical, achievable ways to decarbonise schools, colleges and campus operations. Participants will consider curriculum approaches, energy efficiency measures, sustainable procurement, estate management and methods for measuring and reporting carbon reductions. The programme emphasises real-world examples and collaborative problem solving to help institutions translate ambition into action.

Designed for senior leaders, teachers, sustainability officers and facilities managers, this event offers practical guidance and peer learning to help embed low carbon practice across teaching and operations. Whether you are beginning your sustainability journey or aiming to accelerate an existing plan, you will leave with clear ideas, useful contacts and next steps to support delivery and long term change. Held at MidKent College Maidstone Campus, the event is a chance to connect with local education professionals committed to climate action and ecological stewardship.
