Questions to ask ourselves - from the Environmental Working Group
This document was created by the IETM Environmental Working Group with the aim of helping cultural professionals to reflect on their practices from an ecological perspective and tailor their work accordingly. The Environmental Working Group acknowledges that its members have differing needs and capacities. Therefore, instead of the prescriptive approach that environmental guidelines often take, the Group decided for a more open-ended format through a set of questions that help each member to interrogate the sustainability of their work while leaving room for differences. This document is a work in progress to be completed with case studies, which participants are welcome to contribute to.
