The training is divided between independent\, self-paced study and live sessions. The learner should commit between 1-3 hours of independent study per module. \nLearners must submit assignments to advance in the course. Assignments related to live sessions shall be submitted 24 hours ahead of the session. Failure to submit will block the learner’s access to the next live session. \nCourse Prerequiste\n\nThe learner should possess a Zero Waste Ambassador-level understanding of Zero Waste\, including the Zero Waste hierarchy\, the concept of a Zero Waste City\, basics of communication\, and the importance of data.\nThe learner should have experience working with European cities\, specifically in zero waste initiatives at the municipal level.\nThe learner should be actively engaged with a municipality\, be willing to hold meetings with them\, and commit to ongoing collaboration.\n\nRegistration and deadline\nProgram starting date: September 16\, 2024 \nRegistration deadline: September 9\, 2024 \nProgram information booklet  \nProgram fees \n600 euros per learner (+VAT when applicable) \nApply now\n

SUMMARY:III Estonian Zero Waste Conference ''Circular Systems are a Reality''
DESCRIPTION:On Oct 2-3\, 2024 the Let’s Do It Foundation will be organising in Tartu\, Estonia the III Estonian Zero Waste Conference\, this year titled “Circular Systems are a Reality”. \nAs the title says\, this year our focus is on already existing systemic zero waste solutions. Zero waste cities and systems are not a theoretical possibility but living examples all over Europe and we wish to bring together some of them. For example the use of reusable tableware at public events that from the beginning of 2024 is compulsory all over Estonia\, or Zero Waste Cities and Business certification schemes. \nOne of the main principles of Let’s Do It Foundation is providing possibilities for true learning. Therefore there are no plenary presentations and lectures at our conference. It will offer a variety of learning workshops on the first day and world cafe style networking and experience sharing from different initiatives all over Europe on the second day. The conference ends with our already traditional panel discussion where the speakers are conference participants themselves\, who will be selected during the conference. \nThe host city of this year’s conference is Tartu\, that carries the title of the European Capital of Culture 2024 that has also put considerable effort into environmentally friendly event management. \nSome of the topics covered at the conference are:  \n\nZero Waste events\nEffective communication with stakeholders\nReuse systems\nZero Waste Cities and Business certification schemes\n\nThe conference is open for everyone*\, but the content is most relevant for: \n\nRepresentatives of local municipalities and ministries\nLocal and regional development centres\nEducators and trainers\nCircular business model enthusiasts\nHigher education representatives\nEnvironmental organisations and initiatives\n\n*The conference will be held in English (some sessions are held in Estonian). The number of spots is limited.
