"I undertook this course with a mixture of curiosity and healthy scepticism. I've emerged inspired, motivated and enthused to take practical action in every part of my world - professional and personal.
"Footprint's unique approach has allowed me to explore values, challenge myself and see clearly our interconnectedness with nature. A profound experience - and one I would recommend to all sceptics!"
Louise Macdonald
Chief Executive, Young Scot; Chair, RSA; Natural Change participant 2009
Research suggests that many existing approaches to promoting sustainability do not result in long-term behaviour change. This is because they do not address the deep psychological and cultural structures at the root of unsustainable behaviour. They also fail to provide the specialist support needed in our professional lives, to make the shift from learning about sustainability, to actually behaving in sustainable ways.
In response to these challenges we offer three programmes for real change, which have been developed over more than ten years of research and professional practice:
Natural Change develops resilient leaders motivated to create change for sustainability.
Pathfinder supports individuals and groups to deliver a specific project, in your business or organisation.
Wild Nature Human Nature enables those working in education, social services, health care, or other therapeutic contexts, to work professionally with ecopsychological processes.
Our programmes are offered to groups on a bespoke basis, except for the Wild Nature Human Nature course which is open to individuals, and the Natural Change Facilitators' Training course which is open to individuals by application only.
