We are Different. Together.
Arts, the Environment & Sustainability
Given the climate emergency we all have an invested interest in sustainable practices and how these relate to the arts. As individuals and as an organisation we want to encourage discussion and the sharing of ideas and to collectively contribute to an action plan around sustainability that is meaningful and achievable.
The Arts, the Environment and Sustainability hub is a free OCA Learn Resource – a space that has been created to present relevant student-facing research and activities. These include resource Padlets, reading lists and the hosting of events such as the yearly OCASA Summer of Sustainability workshops.

Sustainable Practice Pledge
OCA and OCASA are committed to reducing the environmental impact we have by using various sustainability initiatives. We invite you to take part in this endeavour by signing our Sustainable Practice Pledge. Scan the QR code on the image on the VLE or sign the pledge here.

Did you know? — OU Carbon Literacy Training can be accessed (free) by all OCA staff and students!
The online learning starts with four hours of self-study activity, followed by four hours of interactive training, and an individual and group action pledge that leads to Carbon Literacy certification.
​
The course guides you towards making both personal and work-place action pledges, (at OCA and OU these can also be linked into organisational sustainability actions and reporting) so you come out with some really tangible steps on your own terms.
