Climate Action Fife Community Engagement Forum

Are you looking for ideas to engage your community on the climate emergency? Or do you have climate engagement experience that you could share with others?

The Climate Action Fife project run an informal online forum for Fife-based groups to share ideas on what works when talking about the climate emergency. We share ideas and resources to get the climate conversation going and imagine what a climate-friendly Fife would look like.

The forum is open to any community organisations in Fife who want to include climate action and education in their work. Our sessions help community groups in Fife to develop their climate knowledge and enjoy access to resources that help them to do so. This allows groups to deliver their services in a climate-friendly way.

Engaging beyond the “usual suspects"

The theme for the April meetup is: Engaging beyond the “usual suspects” – how mixing up your markets, can bring together people from hard-to-reach or less engaged parts of the community. Ali Macleod will kick off the discussion, sharing with us his thoughts of that aspect of the Footprint East Neuk event, “Motorbikes, Mushrooms & Roots”, that took place recently in Anstruther as part of the Fife Climate Festival. This event brought together motorbikes, mushroom foragers, and tree planters in a family-friendly atmosphere.

Have you tried similar “mixed” or unusual ideas to target parts of your community that might not otherwise talk about climate change? Please come share your own experiences and ideas on the topic.

We also want to hear what challenges you face and collectively help, so please feel free to bring along a challenge and we'll all chat it through and support each other to find solutions. This could be in relation to the above topic or any other regarding community climate engagement.
