The art activities are the following:
La BinTucada! — Instrument Crafting, Play, and Conversation in the Community
Come and enjoy a vibrant experience creating instruments and making music rooted in the world of percussion. In a safe and inclusive environment, we will transform plastic bottles, empty buckets, cans, and other objects into colorful percussion instruments. Let’s play together, have fun, and share stories about history and migration through music.
All abilities and ages are welcome. Instruments and materials will be provided.
Collins + Goto Studio – SEE ME | HEAR ME - A plant performance ‘HAKOTO’ and workshop ‘Colours in Nature’.
This performance and the workshop activities rely on attention to experience, perception and empathy while listening and looking. HAKOTO is a body instrument that creates sound with the breath of a tree leaf. Colours in Nature is an activity focused on imitating the colours of nature by mixing watercolours. First we will listen to a leaf, then we will look at and imitate nature.
Talks and discussions:
Discussion on starting a career in nature conservation

The journey of Castlemilk park to becoming a local nature reserve and learn about starting and managing a local nature reserve
Local Nature Reserves are areas of natural heritage that are locally important for people and biodiversity. Castlemilk Park in Glasgow has been declared as Scotland's 100th local nature reserve. During this talk you can learn about Castlemilk Park's journey to becoming a local nature reserve, how the community plays an important role in its protection and maintenance and how you can also involve your community to take steps towards protecting wildlife in your area.
Guided history and wildlife walk in Castlemilk Park
We will go for a guided walk in Castlemilk park with the Community Woodland Officer and learn about local history and wildlife, and see in person the result of the community's work to make the park welcoming for people and nature.
