Planet Shaftesbury

Be inspired to make sustainable choices for the Shaftesbury area in 2030.  Talks, films, meal, panel discussion.

Shaftesbury School

In collaboration with Shaftesbury School. Registration from 5.45-6.45pm. There'll be films and choice of short talks through to around 7.15pm, followed by meal then panel discussion. Close by 9.30pmThe UN Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. This May there are two events at Shaftesbury School which look at how to address these goals in our everyday lives. ‘Looking Forward’ on 11th May brought together 9-14 yr-olds from a number of SAST academy schools. They explored aspects of sustainability through workshops and talks so that each student became an ambassador taking a message back to their school communities. 'Shaftesbury 2030: Choosing our Future’ gathers older students, parents and adults from across the wider community. In the first half of the evening, through short talks and films, we’ll get background information and many positive and practical examples of what’s happening elsewhere in communities like ours to create positive change. In the second half of the evening, we’ll have a meal together, discuss what we’ve seen and heard, what’s relevant to the Shaftesbury area and our own households, and come up with some questions about how to move things on: what else do we need to know? Afterwards, Alex More of Shaftesbury School, the organiser of the ‘Looking Forward’ event, will introduce our panel discussion.Come along! Choose which talks or films to go to. Enjoy a chat with neighbours. Many of us doing small things will make a big difference. Be inspired, alongside our youngsters, to make sustainable choices.A more comprehensive programme with details of films and talks has been added to the Planet Shaftesbury website here<a href="https://www.planetshaftesbury.org/shaftesbury-2030-choosing-our-future" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> https://www.planetshaftesbury.org/shaftesbury-2030-choosing-our-future</a>
