Who: This workshop is intended for watershed groups working in the Lake Champlain basin and anyone working to educate to promote environmentally sustainable behaviors across the Lake Champlain basin, Vermont, northern New York, and southern Quebec.
Why: This three-day course is a first step in learning techniques to plan outreach that is effective at getting your target audiences to engage in specific environmentally friendly behaviors. Learn more about Community-Based Social Marketing and the instructor, Doug McKenzie Mohr. A quote from the website to whet your whistle: “The cornerstone of sustainable and healthy communities is behaviour change. Sustainability requires that individuals and businesses engage in diverse actions, such as reducing waste, increasing water and energy efficiency, altering transportation habits, and protecting native species. Research demonstrates, however, that the traditional approach of using ads, brochures or websites to encourage behaviour change simply doesn’t work. A new approach, community-based social marketing, is now being used effectively in numerous programs across the globe.”
