EcoTeams South West training day

Following our first large-scale event in London at the beginning of September, the city of Bristol was the next venue for EcoTeams team leader training.

The day was packed with information and advice, together with plenty of help and ideas on how to recruit and run an EcoTeam.

Fun and interactive

Delegates learned more about EcoTeams and results achieved by households taking part. Getting together in facilitated groups, delegates took part in a series of interactive games and activities. They found out more about how an EcoTeam meeting works, used environmental icebreakers to get to know each other, and ordered a range of appliances according to energy use.

A high level of attention and energy. Trainee EcoTeam Leader, Bristol, September 2009

Delegates thought about ways to encourage people to join their teams. A fantastic range of ideas were collected on flipcharts and discussed:
