Educational Material & Training

Dalhousie's Employee & Organizational Development and the Office of Sustainability conduct semi-regular sessions geared toward employees at Dalhousie.  The Employee Sustainability Leadership Program (Six, 3-hour modules plus project), is offered every second year.  The next Employee Sustainability Leadership Program will be held May 2021.

The Dal Bike Centre offers educational programs on bike safety and maintenance.

Training and outreach is provided to students and employees on topics such as green building and sustainability in residences.

For more information or to organize training with our office contact rethink@dal.ca

Rethink Posters and Stickers

Visual prompts are available to university groups. These prompts (posters and stickers) encourage people to reflect on their actions throughout their daily activities, such as turning off electrical appliances when not in use. Prompts help individuals to create habits for little things that can make a big difference when we all do them collectively.

Please select what posters and stickers you would like and then email rethink@dal.ca with your selection and the name of your department or residence. We will send them through interdepartmental mail.
