In this session we discuss some of the little considered impacts of a car dependent society, and how this can affect rural communities.
In this interactive workshop we’ll be taking a look at how cars impact on community life. We provide examples of how private vehicles impact on social connections, perceptions of safety, health and how children and young people move around their local areas.
There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion around these issues – and for you to think about how some of these issues might impact your own local community, or the communities you work in.
We’ll finish with some of the ways we can help support you to take action in your community.
Please let us know if you have any accessibility requirements and we will do our best to accommodate these before, during and after the session.
The session will be held on Microsoft Teams. A link will be sent to you when you register.
This event is the final installment of our three-part Community and Active Travel series:

Join environmental charity, Sniffer, for our new Becoming Climate Resilient training, endorsed by the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute, to explore climate adaptation, climate risk, and opportunities to build resilience and a fairer, flourishing future.
As climate change brings about more frequent and severe disruption across the systems we all rely upon, building resilience is an increasingly urgent priority for businesses, government and communities. Yet, adapting to climate change remains a new challenge for many.
Even if we rapidly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, we are still locked into significant climate impacts. That’s why it is important to not only focus on cutting emissions, but also to take actions to adapt to a changing climate.
What you will learn
Learning outcomes:
How will the course be run?
This one day short course will be delivered online (MS Teams) and will consist of presentations, interactive workshops, and group discussion. This format will allow you to engage with other participants, and opportunities to apply learning to your organisation’s context. You will be sent a confirmation and joining link one week prior to the training date (delivery date subject to sufficient registration numbers).
Who is this suitable for?
This course is designed for businesses and organisations. Training is aimed at those with some understanding of climate change, however no specific knowledge of climate resilience and adaptation is required. Please note that the content of this course is most relevant to a Scottish context, however participants based outside of Scotland are welcome to participate.

Come along to our Climate Café in Inverness – a space, for people to get together to talk and act on climate change! Hot drinks will be provided between 6.30 – 7pm.
THEME: Health & Sustainable Healthcare with Dr Rory Gibson (Medical Education Fellow in Sustainable Healthcare Education) and Dr Andew Dallas (Undergraduate Sustainability Lead for Medical Education at NHS Highland).
Have you thought about how the climate crisis is linked with the health crisis? When it comes to our nation’s carbon emissions, the NHS contributes between 4-5% of overall emissions! There is still so much to understand and learn about the relationships between our health, healthcare systems, and the climate. Join us to discuss what a healthcare system that is better for our health and our climate could look like.
We are moving our normal climate café slot to later in the month on the 26th as a one-off to coincide with Scotland’s Climate Week and the Highlands and Islands Climate Festival. The Highland & Islands Climate Festival is a celebration of localism and community engagement with a focus on climate action to be held for the whole of September 2023!
What is a Climate Café? A Climate Café is a community-led, informal, inclusive and inspiring space to get together, share ideas, information and get involved in climate action locally.
What is it like to go along to a Climate Café? Climate Cafés are relaxed and informal, so you should be able to just drop in, have a cuppa, and a chat – just like any café! It is a space where everyone gets to contribute and the conversation moves through the topics people are interested in. Expect the chat to be wide ranging, with a positive focus on what we can do!

We’re so excited to invite you all again to join us on Saturday, the 30th of September to our second Meanwhile In Leith festival!
With that being said, we have sad news and good news to share from the Meanwhile Site. First the sad news; we will be saying goodbye to the space that’s been our home for the last 2,5 years by the end of October. The Meanwhile Site is getting developed and our wee garden has to go. BUT here’s the good news: We’re not leaving without a bang! We have all been working hard to come up with a festival lineup that resembles the joy and community that has been created here over the last years! So, for one last time, we’re celebrating our wonderful community at the Meanwhile Site, a shared community space between Leith Community Growers, Out of the Blue, local artists, Rowanbank Environmental Arts & Education, and Leith DIY. We want to create a day for all of Leith to share the joy of growing, nature, culture and community. The day will be full of fun workshops, creative drop-in sessions, live music and local stallholders; from a capoeira performance to parkour and skate workshops, learning the basics of bread making, and creative plant ID sessions – we’ve got you covered.
Join us from 12 pm to celebrate the Meanwhile Site together with
Leith DIY
Cat’s Skate Club
Access Parkour
Queer by Nature
Scotland the Bread
Rhyze Mushrooms
Hariheart & Ham
Maderia
There’ll be vegan food by the lovely folx from Leith Food Not Bombs and live music from Nicole Cassandra Smit, Conundrummers more to be announced soon, so keep an eye on our socials!
Entrance to the festival is free of charge, however, some workshops require booking in advance. We are family and dog-friendly.
See you soon at the Meanwhile Site!
