One World Session I - You Are Here!

facilitated by Jonathan Leeming

Introduction

One World Strategy Session I – You Are Here!, supports the organisations sustainability efforts by focusing on understanding our impact upon the world through honest and open collaboration and discussion. This workshop examines why we find ourselves in a world of challenges, the urgency of change, and the importance of stepping up to the leadership challenge of sustainability.

Participants are divided into groups and given an A0 worksheet to complete. As the workshop progresses, participants complete the worksheet topics according to the groups consensus. There are no right or wrong answers for this workshop, just a deeper understanding of the world that we live in. This workshop establishes the WHY of sustainability.

The worksheet focuses upon the following topics:

  • Mankind’s impact.
  • The impact of our values and beliefs.
