Building Sustainable Communities - Online CPD Unit
We have looked at the characteristics of sustainable communities and noted that we would re-visit the notion of 'place-making'. This made connections to real world and work place situations. The curriculum making context of the SEF, sustainable schools, Learning Outside the Classroom and fieldwork has been established. You have been asked to relate these twin aspects to you own schemes of work about 'settlement' or communities.
