Intro to Green Map Dunoon training
Thank you for taking an interest in the Green Map Dunoon training opportunity.
The training aims to give people the skills to use Green Map making tools. These include the digital Green Map platform and the Green Map icons. We want to empower people to create their own Green Maps in their community, so they can highlight social and environmental issues and share information simply and effectively.

Good to know:
- You do not need any specialist skills to apply in this training opportunity.
- Opportunities are open to people over the age of 18 only.
- Access to the internet and a laptop is helpful, but if you don't have either of these things we can provide them.
- The commitment is 12 hours.
- Time will be divided up between online evening Green Map training sessions and lunch time walk and talk sessions led by a local person with a specialist knowledge of issues like Biodiversity, Active Travel and Cultural Heritage.
- Online evening sessions will be recorded, so if you cannot attend a live session, there is the option of learning flexibly, so please don't be put off applying if evenings are not convenient to you.
