What's the Sustainability Learning Community (SLC) about?

 

The SLC is a global virtual meetup and forum for people working on - or wanting to work on - making toys more sustainable. Ask any question; offer what you know; make a plan together to take action if you want. Success is sustainability-curious professionals getting to know each other, learning together, and ultimately improving our industry. We meet 1x/month, on the last Thursday of each month.

​

How does a Learning Community work?

​

Before each meeting, we survey the group via Polly to find out what topics you want to dive into. During the meetups, we'll break into separate topic-themed groups to discuss. There’s no set agenda or questions – each group is a place to organically learn, ask questions, discuss ideas, share recent readings, etc. You can stay in one topic the whole time, or move around from topic to topic. 

​

What am I responsible for? 

 

Showing up with an open mind, prepared to listen and learn. The SLC hosts a wide range of people doing sustainability work – whether they are technical materials experts, or newer people to the field looking to become sustainability champions in their current roles. The more active the community is in speaking up about what they want to discuss, the better our outcome will be. 

​

If I register for one monthly meetup, do I have to register for the rest? 

 

Nope! Once you register for one meetup, you will get recurring invites added to your calendar. Easy peasy.

​
