Your one-stop-shop for an online sustainability engagement program!
Running from March through to October, ACTS delivers a range of sustainability themed “acts” – be they engagement events, activities, shared learning opportunities, competitions or networking events – aimed at connecting a community of passionate individuals who want to learn more about sustainability and find out what they can do to help make the world a better place!
Accessible to everyone at your organisation not matter how large or small, the #actsofconnection series will provide a platform for individuals to:
- Increase their knowledge and awareness of important sustainability issues,
- Help create and connect with a supportive community of likeminded people, and
- Learn simple yet effective ways to help build a better future for people and planet.
By subscribing to #actsofconnection your organisation will gain access to the entire suite of engagement activities developed by ACTS for this program, and the best part is…our team does all the hard work for you!
An annual #actsofconnection organisational subscription provides:
- Unlimited access for all staff (and students if applicable) with an organisational email address to the #actsofconnection calendar.
- Up to 30 dedicated sustainability themed events and/or activities – planned, coordinated and implemented by the expert ACTS team.
- Access to a weekly #actsofconnection bulletin of upcoming events.
- Promotional materials, including event blurbs, website/facebook event listings and social media assets.
- A monthly summary report for organisational engagement (number of registrants/attendees).
- Monthly competitions with prizes up for grabs for active participants (ethically and sustainably sourced of course!).

Once your organisation signs up to #actsofconnection, all employees (and students if applicable) can join our exclusive upcoming events mailing list. Each week, we’ll email details of events open for registration and/or instructions on how to get involved with activities. Individuals can pick and choose what they want to join. It’s that simple!
Every time an individual participates in one of our #actsofconnection, they’ll be automatically entered into our monthly draw for some amazing prizes too. The more events they participate in, the more chances they’ll have to win!
We’ll also provide your organisation with a range of tools to help promote #actsofconnection as an opportunity for your employees, including communication templates, social media assets and online event listings. At the end of the month, we’ll send you a summary report detailing how many people from your organisation registered and participated in each event.
ACTS is a registered charity and small not-for-profit organisation and as such we do need to charge an organisational subscription fee to support the ongoing development and delivery of the #actsofconnection program. Annual subscription fees range between $750 – $2,500 depending on the size and type of your organisation. Subscription fees are heavily discounted for existing ACTS Members!
Organisations running the full version of our Green Impact program are eligible to access #actsofconnection events freely as part of the Green Impact delivery support package. Visit the Green Impact website to learn more about this behaviour change and engagement program.
Many of our regular events are delivered directly by our team of sustainability and community engagement experts! We also utilise our connections throughout the extensive ACTS network to bring you experts from a range of sustainability fields to deliver content as part of this program. In some instances, we are lucky enough to learn from our own community of #actsofconnection participants too!
If you have an idea for the #actsofconnection calendar, or would like to submit a proposal to host an act, please get in touch with our team.
Yes! Whilst the mission of ACTS is to support, promote and inspire best practice sustainability in all types of campuses, we recognise that #actsofconnection events are relevant to anyone with an interest in learning more about sustainability and wanting to help create a better future for all.
Our program is perfect for any organisation in Australia and New Zealand that wants to engage with their staff on important sustainability issues, but may lack the time and/or resources to develop a program in-house. Our online platform is simple and easy to access, with content that is topical and relevant to a wide audience base; it does not assume any prior knowledge or background of sustainability themes and issues.
Once you have subscribed, all you need to do is let your staff (and students) know about #actsofconnection! We provide everything you need to communicate the opportunities provided by #actsofconnection, including a weekly upcoming events EDM, communication templates, online listings, registration pages, social media assets and of course the events themselves!
Yes! All organisations running the full version of our award winning Green Impact program are eligible to access #actsofconnection. Get in touch with your organisations’ Green Impact program coordinator to find out more.
