The first 20 registrants to the AGF training will receive a discount to attend ADE Green, which takes place on 18th October in the DeLaMar Theatre, Amsterdam.There are 1 day or 2 day course options for AGF training. Both will be held at Nachtlab, Isolatorweg 36, 1014 AS Amsterdam, Netherlands, Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th October.“The transition to a new economy requires new thinking. It is crucial to highlight and adapt existing processes in our sector via the collective use of each other’s knowledge and technologies. Sustainability, innovation and social change must form an integral part of today’s festival and events policies. The fact that this can be done – without concessions to the visitor experience, or any finger- pointing – has now been proven,” says ADE Green organiser, Carlij n Lindemulder.Since it’s inception in 2007 AGF have assessed over 400 festivals for their Greener Festival Award scheme across 5 continents, and this year launched the Greener Event Award scheme to include all types of events. The aim is to encourage and share best practice, to celebrate successes raising the profile of environmental issues in the industry, and to help events to improve their environmental impact.AGF Co Founder Claire O’Neill commented that “We have worked alongside the team behind ADE Green for many years and we are thrilled to be able to coincide our first mainland Europe training with the event this Autumn. Our training always provides a great chance for like-minded professionals to meet, and this is bolstered and amplified by the fact that we can join ADE Green following the training for further networking and inspiration, in the beautiful City of Amsterdam.”To apply for the training please email hello@agreenerfestival.comAn Introduction to Environmental Assessment for Events and FestivalsDesigned for those who are new to environmental assessment this one day course is for those who wish to know more but don’t want to commit to becoming an AGF Assessor.1 day: Monday 16th October 2017Total €200A Greener Festival Assessor TrainingThis is a two day course essential for those who wish to become an A Greener Festival assessor.
