Climate for Change Conversations
Event Details
Climate for Change Conversations allow meaningful discussions about climate change to happen at scale.
Having quality conversations about climate change is one of the most effective things we can do to stop it.
The concept of SCCAN’s Climate for Change conversation is a bit like a Tupperware party, but instead of being sold plastic boxes there is an idea communicated: how we can take action on climate change.
Through the night, we will draw on thoughts and concerns that we may have and give a space to air them, to address them and to let them grow into action.
We have trained facilitators and as we realise that we need more of these conversations throughout Scotland we’ve decided to host one online!
Most of all, this is something we really want to share widely.
“I’ve been truly surprised by the lasting impact of my Conversation amongst friends who were previously silent on the issue – we are still talking about it nine months on!” – Jarrod, host

Most people in Scotland are concerned about climate change, but are uncertain and overwhelmed. They don’t know how Scotland should respond or what they personally can do.
Social research shows that we make sense of confusing information and decide what to do about it through conversations with people we trust.

Organic Growing Workshops with Propagate
This is a six week course which is designed to give a good all round understanding of organic growing skills and community gardening. We ask each participant to commit their time to for the full 6 session dates listed below or to split the time with someone else in the same community. If there are some dates that you can’t make from the list below please let us know via email: [email protected]
July 4th – Soil Health and Composting: The key to growing great veg is having great soil. A good soil is rich in microbes and organic matter, and helps us to lock up carbon for a healthier environment.
July 11th – Wildlife Friendly and Permaculture Gardening: Gardening with nature, including no-dig systems, forest gardening principles, mulches, habitats and more.
July 18th – Community Garden Must-Knows: A session on planning a community garden, community engagement, volunteer management, health & safety and risk assessments.
July 25th – Gardening with Kids top tips and activities to keep younger humans engaged in the garden.
August 8th – Crop families, Rotations and Companion Planting: To start off a great organic garden, first you need to know what different plants bring to and take from the soil, and why crop rotation is important to avoid using fertilisers and the build up of disease.
August 15th – Pests and Diseases: Learn to identify the most common pests and diseases in organic growing, and learn natural methods to control them.
These events will be hosted at our small community growing plot behind Falkirk Active Travel Hub. If you have any questions about access please get in touch with us. The majority of activity may be outdoors so please dress warmly. Refreshments will be provided.
