Leadership For Sustainability Learning Network (LSLN)

What is the LSLN ...

We have developed a web based learning network  for people who want to engage with other individuals, organizations and communities who care about, and are working for, a sustainable future. It is specifically designed to promote and facilitate learning, connecting and sharing through attention to democratic and collaborative processes of knowledge construction and encouragement of inclusive dialogue.  It invites exchange of experiences and resources, as well as of accounts of interests and achievements.

It is intended to be an engaging place to meet that connects people across organizations, sectors and communities in the North West and beyond. The aim being to enhance people’s effectiveness in taking action for sustainability.  We do not want to compete with existing networks, but to provide a co-ordinating resource, making use of advanced virtual tools to support learning and other networking possibilities.

How will it work?

The leadership for sustainability learning network is web based and has been designed to support communication, interaction and the sharing of experiences, work and resources.

We will begin with a core set of features - which will include:-

  • The Agora - where important conversation, inquiry, reflection and critical discussion can take place between members
  • Group Spaces - where communities, groups and organizations can share their aspirations and learning at a collective level. It is possible to join existing groups or start your own.
  • Personal spaces - where LSLN members create their own space/information and profile. There are personal blogs to share own experiences and ideas.
  • Sharing Resources - for sharing all manner of files and digital resources such as audio files or documents as well as photos and videos
