Positive Light Projects

Sometimes navigating climate change can feel like we’re all in the dark. During this relaxing creative session, you will make your own solar powered night light to take home, inspired by energy and your hopes for the future. Come along to this workshop led by artists from The Art and Energy Collective where we will be joined by a local energy advisor to think about energy use in your home and find out more about what you could do to reduce carbon emissions and energy bills while also keeping warm.As well as thinking about what home means to us, we will consider each room in a house and discuss the huge range of energy issues that affect all of us across the seasons, from the cold, damp and dark, to keeping cool, washing, cooking and cleaning. We’ll hear about the energy challenges all across Devon and will begin to consider what energy efficiency is and how it can help reduce fuel poverty. We will share practical ways to reduce bills and cover some key advice people could take home.We will provide tea and coffee making facilities and there will be cake and biscuits.This session is for anyone aged 10 or over and will be suitable for beginners.This workshop is offered free of charge to local community groups - supported by Devon Communities Together. We are looking to offer this workshop to support individuals in need for example domestic violence survivors, single parent families, individuals living in fuel poverty, those in rented accommodation and struggling with the cost of living crisis, multicultural groups supporting refugees, families regularly supported by food bank provisions. All are welcome to come and join us.If you'd like to discuss any details then please email us: hello@artandenergy.org
