Upcoming Opportunities

Events page

The Learning for Sustainability Conference offers professional development and networking opportunities for early years, school and community members interested in living and acting more sustainably.

We are excited to announce our Keynote Speaker is Cate McQuillan. Cate is the Emmy-award winning Australian co-creator of the much loved animated stories of dirtgirlworld and its live action series, Get Grubby TV.  A talented weaver of stories, Cate can tell a story with equal power whether she’s on stage or on screen. By drawing on her love of nature, she helps her audience explore the world, where we belong in it and when and how we can shape it. She is committed to the notion that ideas, words, and actions can influence a generation.

The day will motivate and inspire all who attend. Join us for a workshop and browse the foyer to hear from education for sustainability providers.

Friday, 27 Feb 2026, 9am – 3.30pm AEST in-person event Hawthorn Art Centre
