Train the Trainer- 2016

In 2016, the Climate Ready Philly Team changed gears for to a "Train the Trainers" series. During this year, the project team expanded to include staff from the Energy Coordinating Agency and the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. In June 2016, we conducted two workshops in close collaboration with the Energy Coordinating Agency (ECA), the National Nursing Centers Consortium (NNCC), New Kensington Community Development Corporation, and the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. Two of our workshops sought to train community educators and other community leaders to deliver workshops focused on climate change in Philadelphia. We call these “train the trainer” workshops. The first of these featured an interactive activity about “green” cleaning products and the second featured an interactive activity about “cool roofs.” The third workshop was designed for community members and was hosted by New Kensington Community Development Corporation (NKCDC). Following the workshop, NNCC partners adapted our workshop materials to conduct additional “train the trainer” workshops for community health workers and public health officials.
