What We Do

WHAT DOES THE EVENTFUL LEARNING CO. DO?

The Eventful Learning Co was established by Summer Howarth, in 2018, after over a decade working with schools, systems, corporates & non-profits in supporting great professional and organisational learning.

Eventful Learning exists to support great people doing great work, growing capability through great experiences, whether it’s for one day, or an ongoing partnership. This is done by working largely behind the scenes and side of the stage with leadership groups to draw out the best in their own workforce and communities.

We’ve got a vast toolkit of resources and design every learning experience with you and for you to ensure great outcomes for your team and community.

HOW AND WHERE DO WE DO IT?

The Eventful Learning Co. was born in Melbourne, Australia and now lives in many states and territories across the country. Through our work with worldwide organisations and companies, the delivery of our services has no borders. We take Learning Design Briefs and execute them through the development of exceptional learning experiences, underpinned by innovation, impact, meaning and purpose. We work with you, to enhance your vision and bring an outstanding learning event to life.

She has delivered projects and professional development alongside teams including, the Australian Council for Education Research (ACER), Australian Council for Education Leadership (ACEL), Center for Strategic Education (CSE), The Global Education Taskforce on the UNSDGs, IDEO’s Teacher’s Guild, and Melbourne University, as well as extensive student voice consultation for governments including NT, SA and NSW.

DESIGNING SUSTAINABLE LEARNING

Since 2020, we have upped our approach to doing business more sustainably

We work with local suppliers to explore ways our workshop and event materials can be reused, reduce the impacts of production and be recyclable, or biodegradable where possible.

Sticky Notes

These are a huge part of our process, and we are committed to reducing our reliance on them (even though we love those little squares of colour). We recycle all used notes.

We’re have digital alternatives to help reduce sticky note waste and will continue to explore how we can reduce the use of single-use items such as these. 

Pens

Our (very snazzy) pens are 80% degradable. We wanted to create something you’ll love to use and demonstrate that plastic pens are a thing of the past. Our pens are made from wheat straw, a bioplastic made from an agricultural by-product with very little value. It’s now something you can use long into the months ahead.

Printing

We print on recycled paper with the use of soy-based ink and our resources are sourced locally to support Aussie businesses where possible.

Travel

The Eventful Learning Co. offsets our travel emissions where possible and have developed a vast suite of virtual tools for collaboration & broadcast. We can deliver high quality learning online and face-to-face.

Got a great idea for how we can do better? 

Send us your ideas at hello@eventfullearning.co and together we can design great learning, and great ways to work together for a great environment.
