COAL launches the Sustainable Culture Trainings in partnership with Influence for good and Nicomak

COAL has developed a participative training methodology to initiate a process of ecological transition and solidarity at the scale of a cultural institution as well as with companies and brands via a cultural approach. A training project co-signed in partnership with Nicomak, specialist in professional training in sustainable development, and the agency influence for good. Because the ecological and solidarity transition is no longer limited to applying eco-gestures on a daily basis or to adapting to a regulation, or even to a product innovation. It is now a culture in its own right, with shared representations, values and criteria for choice that define usage and behavior.

Cultural structures but also brands and companies can play a fundamental role in the implementation of a new culture of ecological transition and participate in the evolution of common representations by acting on their functioning, their production, their image, their services and their products. Many artists and artistic practices are able to accompany this commitment.

These trainings are based on COAL’s 13 years of expertise in the field of sustainable culture. COAL is the first French actor in the field of art and ecology. It has initiated about fifty exhibitions and cultural events around the ecological transition all over France, awards the COAL Art and Environment Prize every year, and participates in the knowledge and dissemination of the theme through European cooperation, consulting, the organization of numerous workshops and conferences, and the creation of large-scale events.

Through their participative dimension, these training sessions allow solutions to emerge more efficiently and to involve teams in the process from the outset, which ensures better ownership of the project: collective voting and prioritization of proposals, analysis of impact factors, examples of good practice, existing tools and methods. We adopt a posture of facilitator of exchanges and resources. We want the group to experiment with collective intelligence in order to learn how to apply the principles of the ecological and solidarity transition in a group and in autonomy.
