Learning for
a sustainable future
S
ustainability is an important
value that we encourage all
North Hertfordshire College
community members to
consider in their work, from staff
and students through to our local
schools and the wider community.
We’re proud to work with a range of
employer partners who share in our
vision, and who can help us provide
experiences and opportunities to our
community members and inspire
them to think about sustainability in
different ways.
This is something that has been
incorporated across our provision and
learning opportunities to enable our
learners and staff to have a greater
understanding of the importance of
sustainability both in their current
and future activities.
Employer Collaboration with
Bambuubrush
In our Travel and Tourism
department, our students worked
28
alongside the
award-winning
sustainability
CONSULTATION
company
Bambuubrush
to design and
create a reusable
mug and bottle.
Bambuubrush
shared our students’ passion for
change and desire to mitigate the
impact of litter on the environment,
something they had witnessed firsthand. The students were inspired by
Bambuubrush’s insight and began
their own recycling campaigns in
the College and at home. This work
culminated in their final project
designs for the reusable bottle and
cups.
The products served a dual purpose,
having been sold to staff and students
to help raise funds for our charity of
the year whilst also helping to reduce
plastic waste across our campuses.
