Talking about the climate emergency with friends, neighbours and colleagues is one of the best ways to create lasting change. One major barrier to having these conversations is the worry that you don’t know enough.
These three sessions will take you through the Climate Literacy Project accredited Fife Climate Knowhow programme and the Climate Fresk tool with the option of becoming a facilitator able to run sessions in your school, department or community. The sessions will give you the knowledge and confidence to talk about the science, causes and impacts of climate change. You’ll also find out about the actions we can take to mitigate it as well as plan sessions and gain skills in facilitation.
Booking this event will sign you up for all sessions – Tuesday 16th April, Tuesday 23rd April and Tuesday 30th April (9.30am to 12.30pm) The facilitator training is on 7th May. All sessions are in person.
The training is organised by Transition University St Andrews and Greener Kirkcaldy.
