LiFE Framework - Practical Assessment 

Charles Sturt University adopted the Learning in Future Environments (LiFE) Index in 2012 as their sustainability framework. This Index is used by 70 tertiary institutions internationally, and administered across Australasia by ACTS. The LiFE Index is a structured process for evaluating current practices that support or impede good sustainability practices, and for developing improvement plans via cross-organisational participation.

This session will examine Charles Sturt’s interpretation and implementation of the Index. This involves a taste of the participatory workshop experience implemented on a six monthly basis across the university. Charles Sturt coordinate an ongoing annual schedule of participatory workshops that identify existing areas of good sustainable practice; opportunities for improvement across all activity areas of the organisation; and ways of prioritising and resourcing improvement actions towards best practice. This process is core to continually engaging key stakeholders and to working towards an annual embedded LiFE key performance indicator in the Charles Sturt University Strategy.  

This session will be presented by Kym Witney-Soanes and Ed Maher, Charles Sturt University
