Helping the College
Create a Greener Future |
| Date: 13th October 2008 |
Post-graduate
student Florian Babeau comes from La Rochelle in France and has
recently completed a degree in Quality, Security and Environmental
Management at the University of Poitiers. He has a year’s experience
of environmental management in industry, which left him with a
strong commitment to change and a desire to focus on Sustainable
Development in a foreign country.
Florian says, "The Charity Student Force for Sustainability, based
in Oakham (Rutland), offered me the opportunity to improve my skills
with a placement through the European programme EVS (European
Voluntary Service). This non-profit organisation is committed to the
LSC sustainability policy, and provides a one-year service to help
colleges implement initiatives for creating a sustainable
development (more information on the website http://www.studentforce.org.uk).
This year, Chesterfield College has decided to implement a range of
initiatives as a step towards achieving a Sustainable Development.
The College plans to implement a wide range of projects, with the
emphasis on recycling, travelling and communication.
Until the end of March 2009, I will work as the Sustainable College
Assistant to help Chesterfield College achieve its goals. My role
will be to implement a travel plan, to improve the recycling
process, and to encourage the presence of ‘Sustainable Development’
in the curriculum. Obviously, these projects will not achieve
success without a strong focus on communication to raise student and
staff awareness.
I thank you in advance for your welcome and help. If you have any
queries or would like further information, please contact me on ext
1510, or you can find me in S311."
