Cambridge Carbon Footprint

National Carbon Conversations

Carbon Conversations is now available to organisations outside Cambridge. In order to use the model and the materials you need to complete a 2-day facilitator training and sign a letter of agreement with us. The next training takes place on February 6th-7th in Cambridge. You can download the application form with full details here.

If you would like us to bring training to you, please contact us to discuss possibilities.
Over the coming year we hope to establish local hubs of people using the materials, local training and an online learning environment to support facilitators and participants. Watch this space for details.
Single copies of the Carbon Conversations handbook are available to people who would like to get a flavour of the materials and approach, price £15, including p&p. Multiple copies of the handbook, the games and other materials are available as a package once you have completed the training. You can view the games here.
