Join Culture for Climate Scotland, SBCAN and Connecting Threads to think about the role of rivers in the climate crisis, as climate regulators and indicators of change, and find out what you can do to support healthy hydrology, both upstream and down, for a better world.
You’ll select a morning workshop, before coming together for soup, community sharings and a closing conversation.
- Join Derek Robeson, Tweed Forum, for a walk and visit to Lake Wood on the Eddleston Water.
- Get hands on with a making workshop
- Enjoy soup and a sharing from community-led groups taking local river action
- Hear from SBCAN about the launch of a new funding round for groups in the Borders to take climate action
- Come together for a closing conversation, share insights from the day and look to the future, with input from ecologists, climate specialists, creators and community-activists. This will be creatively facilitated by artist Anne Waggot Knot.
This Springboard event is part of Culture for Climate Scotland local assemblies programme.
Local assemblies build networks of people and organisations working on culture and climate change from the same region so they can learn together, share knowledge and information, and collaborate.
Running concurrently as part of Tweed River Festival, Connecting Threads have programmed a day of workshops, readings, discussions and song. Book tickets for Sunday's Tweed River Festival here.
