Are you passionate about tackling the Climate Crisis? Thought about making climate videos and weren’t sure where to start? Look no further!
At this Green Tease event BBC The Social and Creative Carbon Scotland are running a workshop on creating content about climate change. Whether it’s about raising awareness on important issues or sharing positive stories – we’ll share our successful tips on how to cut through the noise and engage people.
This is also a chance for you to learn more about working with BBC The Social and get an insight into BBC Scotland. BBC The Social are looking for the next generation of passionate creators who make compelling content about the climate crisis and have real impact.
You’ll get a chance to get creative and workshop ideas then pitch them to BBC The Social producers. You’ll get an insight into how to forge and develop a career in an exciting and creative organisation like BBC Scotland.
Speakers
We’ll hear from Christina Sinclair about her journey from BBC The Social contributor to working with the Natural History Unit on Frozen Planet II’s digital campaign. She’ll also share her top tips for how to engage audiences on a difficult topic.
Christina joined BBC The Social as a contributor in 2020 with the aim to inspire and educate audiences about the amazing nature found around Scottish coastlines, from otters to jellyfish, as well as how we can protect it. Fast forward to 2023 and she’s now an Assistant Producer with the BBC Natural History Unit making short films to inspire action for the climate crisis. In this session Christina will describe how her career has progressed over the years and share some top tips on how to make engaging environmental content.
About BBC The Social
We are a talent development project at BBC Scotland called BBC The Social. We work with new content creators from all across Scotland and have helped develop people’s skills to get them into the media industry in jobs and also helped them develop content for the BBC Scotland channel and iPlayer and beyond. We work with new creators and publish their content on our social and digital channels and people get paid when their content is published. Read more here.
We’re always looking for new contributors and want to fully represent Scotland and our audience. In particular we’re looking for new content creators to cover environmental issues and topics. We have covered these before but are always looking for new and engaging ways to cover these – here’s a collection of our previous content on the topic.

SPRINGBOARD: Assembly for creative climate action
Scotland in 2045 will be a net-zero country, confident in a changed climate.
Society, communities, jobs and the economy will look very different in this greener, fairer, more equal country.
How do we create this new Scotland?
The transformation needs imagination, conversations, new ways of working.
SPRINGBOARD: Assembly for creative climate action will take place online from 27 February to 2 March 2023. We invite cultural, environmental and community organisations and individual practitioners, local authorities, businesses, charities, government and public organisations to work together to re imagine this new Scotland and to grasp the opportunities and overcome the challenges of the journey towards it. We want to engender and support collaboration between and across different sectors and different sorts of organisations to achieve the transformational,
systemic and national change required.
This is NOT a conference! Yes, there will be inspiring and informative talks and discussions with experts in climate change, culture and social change. But for most of the four-day assembly you’ll be working in a cross-sectoral ‘cohort’ discussing one of the following three questions and creating bold action plans:
- How do we accelerate the decarbonisation of the cultural sector?
- How can we collaborate for resilience?
- How can culture play its full role in the necessary transformation of society?

Event Details
Creative Carbon Scotland is working with Eden Court, NatureScot and other regional organisations across Scotland on a series of local assemblies for creative climate action. SPRINGBOARD brings together individual artists and cultural organisations with people working on climate change to form powerful local networks for climate action. Local assemblies are an opportunity to connect with other practitioners in your region to address climate change collectively.
At the Inverness assembly, Creative Carbon Scotland will work with NatureScot’s Marine Ecosystems team to lead practical workshops, ending the afternoon with a discussion about how people want to work in future, and time to do some networking over drinks.
These local assemblies are for anyone working or volunteering in the arts, screen, creative industries, museums, heritage, libraries or climate change fields. For this assembly we are particularly keen to welcome anyone working or living in coastal areas, working on or concerned with the sea or marine environments.
Other local assemblies are taking place around Scotland – see www.creativecarbonscotland.com for details.
Attendance is free and the venue is fully accessible. BSL interpretation will be provided if required: if you need it or any other help or support to enable you to attend, please contact [email protected] at least one week before the event.
The outline programme is as follows:
1:45pm – Arrival
2:00-2:10 – Welcome
2:10-3:30 – Session 1 – Arts and environmental collaboration on climate change, in collaboration with NatureScot
Collaboration between the arts and environmental sectors can create diverse opportunities for more effective action on climate change. This session will be delivered in partnership with NatureScot and will explore the ways that these fields can benefit from collaboration, offer examples of what has been achieved in the past and explore the practical steps needed to make collaborative projects a success. The session will end with an opportunity to consider what a collaborative climate change project would look like for you.
3:30-3:45 – Break with tea and coffee
3:45-4:45 – Session 2 – Climate justice and arts & culture
Climate justice is a way of understanding how climate change results from and exacerbates existing inequalities and injustices as well as how climate action can help create a fairer world. This workshop will share our research into how climate justice thinking is relevant to the arts and culture sector in Scotland and provide opportunities to explore how this relates to your own organisation or individual practice.
4:45-5:30 – Round-up discussion & next steps
5:30pm – Networking drinks
