Our training and education programmes are supporting the change to sustainable living and driving the efficient use of resources throughout Southern Africa. We have a range of training courses designed to meet the needs of businesses, local government, organisations and individuals.
We offer our training and education programmes as:
- Scheduled Courses – Our range of courses run on specific dates through the year.
- Integrated Training – We tailor the content and delivery of our course material to suite your organisational requirements and timescales.
- Workshops – We facilitate, mentor and advise on sustainability strategy and solutions for your organisation.
We acknowledge that the subjects of sustainability and climate change are vast, dynamic and complex depending on the level of understanding and application one requires. Adapting to sustainability can be particularly challenging too, as most of our systems and products in society are knowingly and unknowingly designed to not be sustainable.
At icologie we believe it is up to all of us to be aware of why we need to change and know where we can start doing things differently in our lives and work. Lack of awareness is, more often than not, the greatest obstacle to changing human behaviour. So too, solving complex problems requires a new mindset or different way of thinking about them, often requiring us to start by looking at our immediate surroundings and within ourselves. In this respect, French microbiologist and philosopher, René Jules Dubos, said:
“Think globally, act locally…”
Our training courses are delivered in the form of interactive workshops presented by engaging experienced icologie facilitators using a variety of media. Emphasis is placed on audience participation, case studies, experiential learning activities and, where appropriate, practical hands-on demonstrations (of solar water heaters, water-efficient shower heads, energy-saving electricity consumption etc.).
Training courses are assessed through our online feedback form system to ensure efficiency, resource conservation and continuous improvement of our programmes.
