Dan has delivered green skills sessions in primary, middle and secondary schools, and participated in regional conferences representing the Green Growth Skills project. Dan has shown a high degree of maturity and positivity and is very enthusiastic about this topic, developing excellent management skills working with schools and the community to book sessions, and has fully engaged with developing resources in green energy to support the school curriculum. Dan’s contribution to the Green Growth Foresighting project with regional partners and the Northeast Combined Authority has been excellent.
