Our Approach to Learning

The Natural Step Canada’s Sustainability Learning Programs are designed using a dialogue education approach to learning design and facilitation.

Instead of just listening and watching presentations, you will actively engage in hands-on, participatory learning tasks that will help you dive into the content, apply it to real situations, and prepare to transfer what you learn to your business, community, or organization. We keep the presentations short and focused, and provide plenty of opportunities for you to apply what you’re learning and reflect.
