Short introduction about the resources

The Sustainable Culture Toolkit is designed to support theatres, festivals and other cultural organisations in integrating environmental and social sustainability into their practices.

The Toolkit combines practical guidance, structured learning materials and an organisational self-assessment tool. The resources can be used independently, as part of staff training or collectively by teams seeking to identify priorities and develop sustainability actions.
