25 Oct:Sustainability in Edu Forum-Lead School to A Green Future

BritCham SC

2025-10-22

Sustainability is no longer an option—it's a necessity. As pivotal hubs for shaping future generations, schools have a profound responsibility and opportunity to lead the way. But where do you begin?

This October, the British Chamber of Commerce South China invites school leaders, senior management, and educators to a transformative event series: Sustainability in Education.

Throughout the month, we will explore practical, impactful strategies for embedding sustainability into the very fabric of your school—from operations and curriculum to campus culture.

Kickstarting with three deep-dive online webinars every Thursday, and culminating in a dynamic in-person forum on Saturday, this series is your comprehensive guide to turning intention into action.
