"Taking part in Responsible Futures has helped our partnership to take a comprehensive approach to our ESD work. The programme enabled us to take a holistic look at how we are approaching ESD at DMU and it has helped us to plan what area we will concentrate on next. It has been an invaluable process for our work in this area".
