After being in so many Thinking Environments I felt really confused when someone didn't put names in chat and ask me how I was at a networking meeting today 🤷🏻‍♀️

#joyfe #thinkingenvironment

In Autumn 2021, I wrote about Nancy Kline’s, #ThinkingEnvironment .

I still use Dr Lou Mycroft & Dr Kay Sidebottom 🌿🕷⛸’s guide shorturl.at/jprJ8 on how to use it in #FE to sharpen my use of the theory, but looking back I can really see how this concept has changed the way I THINK. 🙏

What is sustainable design? 🧐

Sustainable design aims to create long-term solutions that benefit both society and the environment. 🌳🌎

Designers can reduce waste and emissions by creating products and processes that are recyclable, compostable or reusable. ♻️🚯🌱

In the carbon market you have...

Removers: Companies that remove carbon from the environment

Emitters: Companies that add carbon/pollution to the environment

Governments issue Carbon Credits to removers. They can sell them on at market or to emitters to offset their emissions

#ThinkingEnvironment used today for the first time in a managers meeting. Wow, fantastic, positive session. Thanks Dr Lou Mycroft for introducing me to this simple but effective method. 🤔🙂 APConnectUK

In the lunch break at The Q community event in Sheffield today we had Pilates from Jennifer & Helen Crimlisk 🌻🌈🌳⛰️🧠🌏🩺🇪🇺, we had a poetry reading from @stevenbexsheff and a visit to the Site Gallery - all ways of saying to the attendees 'you matter' ❤️ #thinkingenvironment

I started an EdD supervision meeting today with the question “what is your freshest thinking?“ & my student spoke non-stop for 15 minutes! I loved listening to her.
