Staycation: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Event Information
Join an expert panel to discuss our holiday choices and the climate impact of flying.
Staycation: Should I Stay or Should I Go? is an event for Fife College students who would like to debate our holiday choices. We will consider whether we prefer holidays at home or abroad, and how our holiday choices impact on the climate.
The event will begin at 10am, but doors open from 9.30am.
The event is aimed at Travel and Tourism, Events and Hospitality students but everyone is welcome.
We will discuss barriers to holidaying at home/abroad; what we love about overseas travel and staycations; consider whether we should be trying to reduce the amount we fly and what climate change might mean for the travel industry.
We will be joined by an expert panel who will take part in a chaired debate of the issues. Students will be able to join in the debate and ask questions.
The event will finish with time to explore interactive activities on different sustainability themes from the Climate Action Fife project:
- Climate-friendly food,
- Climate-friendly travel
- Climate-friendly holidays
Competition
Everyone who signs up and attends the event will be entered into a prize draw to win an outdoor adventure experience in Scotland.
