A new collaboration between Falmouth University and A Greener Festival means that sustainability training for festival and event organisers is reaching an international audience.

The short course, A Greener Festival’s (AGF) assessor training, which was launched last week, provides evaluation and certification of the environmental impact of festivals. It is being delivered as part of Falmouth’s MA in creative events management.

Having assessed over 400 festivals, events and venues across five continents, including Glastonbury, Denmark’s Roskilde, Spain’s Primavera Sound and Bayou Boogaloo in the United States, demand is growing for more AGF assessors across the world. The new online provision means that A Greener Festival can reach and teach more individuals, wherever they are.

The collaboration also benefits Falmouth’s Masters students, who will be accredited as A Greener Festival assessors, as well as gaining their MA.

Adrian Bossey, head of cultural management and production at Falmouth University, said: “Falmouth has just been awarded gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework, in recognition of the superb quality of its teaching quality and graduate outcomes.

“We are delighted that with innovative and ambitious programmes like this we are taking our expertise global and helping professionals all over the world upskill and develop their careers in the ever-evolving global events management landscape.”
