The Eco-Schools National
Exhibition and Conference 2008 was the biggest Eco-Schools conference ever held
in
Eco-Schools would like to thank ‘Busta’ our Compere for the event
for keeping things going at a cracking pace and for helping inject
a real sense of fun into the day.
We’d also like to thank Rupert Bear for entertaining kids of
all ages throughout the day.
The Event exceeded all
expectations (we originally planned for around 800 attendees) and the feedback received
has, on the whole, been incredibly positive.
Inevitably there were one or two difficulties
given the large number of attendees, in particular the size of rooms booked for
workshops created a few problems. Thank
you to everyone who showed great patience with us as we sorted things out.
We have already begun
to plan for next years event which will take place in the
This year’s event
featured:
• A Presentation Hall with presentations every 30 minutes on a range of topics including the ‘Switched on Communities’ Eco-Schools Grant Scheme and the Governments Sustainable Schools Strategy.
• Ask the Experts surgery sessions for attending schools focussing on their challenges.
Almost all sessions were well attended with schools arriving promptly for
their consultation. Unfortunately a
there were a small number of Eco-Schools which failed to take up their sessions,
particularly disappointing given there was more demand for places than we could originally accommodate.
• An Exhibition Hall with over 30 relevant exhibitors including wind turbines and solar panels.
