Donations welcome. Paper programmes available at selected local venues.
Have a look at the events planned for the first day of the festival (Saturday 14th March) at The Somerville Youth & Play Provision.
At 2pm we kick off with Climate Fresk, a collaborative game that seeks to raise public awareness and give a greater understanding of the reasons for, and consequences of, climate change. Booking recommended.
This event acts as a great introduction to the next event at 5.30pm, where Dr Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, will talk about ways in which we can make our communities more resilient. Booking for this event is strongly recommended.
At 6.30pm there will then be a vegan meal available (booking essential to gauge food quantities) followed by a green networking evening hosted by SELCE at 7.30pm, where we will get the chance to hear about different local initiatives and meet other likeminded people. All welcome. There will be a bar throughout the event.
