Sustainability Gathering for Calderdale

Sustainability Gathering for Calderdale (in person event)

Our intention for the event on the 12th of May is to gather folk who we know to be committed to living a greener and ethical life. People who we know are already actively involved environmental and community projects, aswell as those who would like to be more involved.

As part of the event we will be inviting people to join a Co Design conversation regarding future Sustainability events in Calderdale.

During this event we are holding on the 12th of May we would like to explore the following questions with the people who attend;

1, Would further events help to build momentum and progress to a more sustainable life in Calderdale? If what would these be about and what would they look like?

2, What do you care about in regard to sustainabe living?

2, What skills, knowledge and experience would you like to share to support the development of sustainable living?

3, Would you like to be involved moving forward, and if so how would you like to be involved?

This in-person event will be held at Aarrrons Campsite, in Cragg Vale.

At the launch we will tour Aarrons campsite to be able to see the potential the site has to offer for future events.

During the event on the 12th of May there will be opportunities to share your knowledge and skills in developing and offering sustainable solutions, community cohesion or your craft. This can include;

• Delivering a talk that relates to sustainable and ethical living
• Delivering a workshops on approaches that supports sustainability and ethical living
• Delivering craft and skill demonstrations
• Running a stall sell ethical / sustainable goods and products i.e. upcycling, foraged goods

or anything else that you believe would contribute to the aim of the day.
