Section 3 - Now it's time to hear from you! We're really interested in understanding what motivates you about the programme and how we can best support you during your time with us.

The following questions will help us get to know you better and the information that you provide will help us to shape the programme around your experience and interests where possible.

First, we'd like to understand a bit more about your current knowledge and experience on environmental issues both local and global, what you know about nature connection, where you go to feel closer to nature and how it makes you feel. Don't worry if you feel like you don't know much (or anything!) about any of these topics - ELP2 is open to everyone regardless of previous knowledge or experience.

Please use the points below to shape your answer (a sentence on each is fine):

Please tell us about any environmental issues that you've noticed or are particularly interested in around your local area.
Are you already involved in any local environmental action? If so, tell us what. If not, is there something specific that's stopping you from taking part or getting involved?
Where and how do you like to connect with nature in your area? How does it make you feel?
If you don't feel like you are able to connect with nature - why not, what are the barriers? If you could, where would you like to go?

Now we'd like to know a bit more about your leadership goals and your green career aspirations. Again, please use the points below to shape your answer (a sentence on each is fine):

Please tell us what kind of green leader you would like to be.
What are your 'green career' aspirations? If you don't have any please let us know why.

Are there any challenges that you think will affect your ability to commit? (500 character limit)

Is there anything we can do to support you? (500 character limit)
