Whittlesea council’s sustainable communities workshop series is back for another year, delivering a mix of free face-to-face and online sessions that will enable participants to meet new people and connect with like-minded individuals who care for the environment.
In the sessions, you can learn tips and tricks for a sustainable, climate-resilient lifestyle in a series of free, hands-on workshops.
Whittlesea chair administrator Lydia Wilson said the free workshops are an opportunity for residents to make a real difference in their lives and the broader community.
“Council is excited to bring this workshop series to the community, where local residents will not only have the chance to learn different hands-on elements of sustainable living but also create a lasting environmental impact with their new skills,” she said.
These popular events offer a variety of new DIY projects, giving participants the chance to create things they can take home.
Topics to be covered in the workshops include, discovering biophilia, practical and low-cost home energy efficiency, practical home energy efficiency, going all electric, basic grafting, pickling and curing olives, seed saving, designing your home food garden and produce gardening for renters.
Sessions started on February 3 and will run until June.
Workshop participants will receive a certificate and can showcase their learnings and creations at the series wrap-up celebration and showcase. In addition, participants who attend all sessions will have a chance to win a prize at the end of the series.
