Everyone's talking about climate change ..... What about you?

Workshop Programme
This spring we are completing our programme of workshops on climate change, communication and connection. These are aimed at people volunteering with us, anyone who would like to get involved and anyone who is just interested.
  • Explore how to help people connect and act on carbon reduction
  • Understand the barriers both psychological and practical to taking action
  • Learn to deal with urban myths, truth and lies about climate change
  • Keep your own energy and enthusiasm intact.
The workshops are practical and participative. They are free to all volunteers and prospective volunteers with a small charge for anyone else. They're a great opportunity to meet with others who are enthusiastic about acting on climate change. To book or for more information please email rorandall@cambridgecarbonfootprint.org

meet in a small group:
connect with others who are concerned
explore climate change:
how it will affect us; what we can do
act in your own life:
reduce your effect on climate change: learn what to do about home energy, travel and transport, food and water, consumption and waste
join a Carbon Challenge Group

Where and when:
New groups start April/May 2008 in Cambridge and Hemingford.

They meet 5/6 times, fortnightly or monthly and are led by facilitators who have already completed a group themselves. There is also a special group for people who would like to be facilitators.

 

More Information

Akashi Festival
Anyone who came to the Akashi festival will know that it was a wonderful success – over 350 people enjoying an incredible afternoon of multi-cultural climate-change workshops and stalls. Dance, meditation, singing, cycling, face-painting, conversation circles, foot-printing, composting, food and more…

Thank you to project worker Shilpa Shah and everyone who took part and helped.

Pictures and a report should be up on the Akashi website shortly, as soon as those involved have recovered.

We received a grant from the Lottery Fund to put on the festival as culmination of the Akashi Project and to take the exhibition to other venues around the region.
