Embedding Positive Attitudes and Behaviours
The University of Leicester is proud to host this Community of Practice that focuses on sustainable behaviour change as part of the Environmental Association of Universities and Colleges (EAUC).
This community works together to identify precedents in the area, share experiences and best practice examples (from within or without education) and to provide member institutions with guidelines and templates where possible to lighten the workload when tackling this important area.

The aims of the community include:
- To work together and/or share resources to help members achieve specific aims/objectives

Provide advice and guidance - To promote the principles of positive attitude and behaviour change management to FE/HE
