Description: During a Green-Schools Education Officers training day, a workshop focused on how positive experiences and emotions can enhance sustainability education. Participants explored a model centered on sustainable transport and hope, then shared their own “good day at the office” experiences—moments where workshops, events, or meetings went particularly well. These experiences were categorized by emotions, displayed for group discussion, and used as a basis for knowledge-sharing. The session created an uplifting atmosphere, encouraging collaboration and providing practical ideas for future workshops.


Key Highlights:

  • Explored the role of positive emotions in sustainability education.
  • Participants shared and reflected on successful experiences.
  • Promoted collaboration and the exchange of effective practices.

Impact: Provided practical ideas and motivation for incorporating positive approaches into sustainability-focused workshops.
