Community Litter Workshops
Community Litter Workshops
To support the National Litter and Flytipping Strategy, Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) is delivering a community-focused litter education programme based around workshops that can be delivered online or in-person.
The introductory workshop aims to provide participants with information and access to resources to help tackle litter and littering behaviour.
The workshop runs for between 60 and 90 minutes and it is being delivered by KSB, as part of our actions for the National Litter and Flytipping Strategy's Year 2 Actions, which are being implemented in partnership with Zero Waste Scotland and SEPA.
The workshops are funded by the Scottish Government.
Workshops have been running throughout November and until March 2025 we are offering the opportunity for groups to book sessions to be delivered to individual community groups!
If you are interesting in having a workshop delivered online or in-person for your community group, please email NLFS@KeepScotlandBeautiful.org
Who are these workshops for?
The workshops are for adults (18+) who are beginning their journey to tackle litter and littering behaviour in their community.
Representatives of groups or businesses across Scotland are welcome to get in touch to discuss holding a workshop at your community meeting or event.
Why should I register to attend a workshop?
At the workshops, participants will develop an understanding of:
- why litter is a problem;
- the wider impacts of poor environmental quality; and
- the basics of behaviour change theory.
Participants will also build knowledge to:
- develop an effective plan to tackle litter in the local area;
- monitor and report on the litter problem in the local area; and
- identify further information and support to tackle the litter emergency.
How will the workshops take place?
The workshops will be delivered by our experienced facilitator, who will use supporting information from a series of specially developed slides.
Workshops last between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the level of engagement and participation of the participants and encourage peer-to-peer interaction and learning. There is also time for a Q&A at the end.
The workshops will either be held online using Zoom or in person at various venues. To participate in the online workshops, you will need access to a laptop, computer, tablet or smartphone and access to the internet.
Further workshops may be listed on Eventbrite, so keep and eye on our Eventbrite collection for new dates. After signing up on Eventbrite, participants will receive a link to online workshops by email closer to the date.
When will the workshops take place?
A number of workshops were run throughout November 2024, and more public events may be added through until March 2025. Spaces at public sessions must be booked in advance via Eventbrite.
