A partnership event between Plastic Free Fife and Greener Kirkcaldy.
Join this free workshop to learn about eco- and health-friendly period products and the benefits they offer compared to conventional plastic pads and tampons.
In a safe, friendly environment we will take attendees through a programme of presentations and discussions. We will discuss why period plastic is a problem, what the eco-friendly alternatives are, how to use them and where to get them. We’ll be demonstrating samples of the different products, discussing their pros and cons, and provide details of how to make your own pads.
This workshop is for all those who have periods or are approaching menstruating age are welcome. Under 16s should be accompanied by an adult.
We welcome attendees who have never considered reusable period products before, those who have occasionally tried them, as well as those who are already using reusable products but would like to hear about other options.

This workshop is free to attend, but spaces are limited so booking is required.

A simple social gathering with facilitators where we can talk about our thoughts and feelings about the climate emergency.
A simple social gathering with facilitators where we can talk about our thoughts and feelings about the climate emergency.
A Climate Café is an opportunity to give ourselves time to sit, perhaps with a hot drink and a slice of cake, and describe our thoughts and feelings about the crises of our ecology.
Climate Cafés are bounded by confidentiality although they are not therapy sessions. We invite you to take part in a warm, hospitable, facilitated conversation where you can reflect on your and others’ feelings without being bounced into action. This is one way of coping with the challenges facing us all.
This Climate Café will be held every second Wednesday of the month at the Salisbury Centre, an inclusive community space just east of the Meadows in Edinburgh. Tea and hot drinks will be available from the Salisbury Centre’s kitchen (small donation suggested), and the facilitators will provide some biscuits and snacks. You are welcome to bring your own too!
The focus of discussion is participants’ thoughts and feelings about the climate and ecological crisis. There are no guest speakers and no talks, and it is an advice-free zone. You can find out more about it here.
This event is free and anyone aged 18 years and over, from any background, is warmly welcome. Please feel free to share the event with your friends and family.
There is a limit on numbers to ensure space for discussion. If all the spaces are full please do join the waitlist or register your interest in future sessions by writing to us at [email protected].

A climate café is a simple, hospitable, empathetic space where fears & uncertainties about our climate & ecological crisis can be safely expressed. The model is adapted from Death Cafés.
This one is for anyone aged 18 or over.
We need the kind of exploration that climate cafés provide as it becomes more evident that climate and ecological breakdown are not far-away problems but a clear and present danger to our own safety and wellbeing. People increasingly need to talk about what our changing world means for them in terms of impacts at personal, family and societal level. We need to imagine it in some detail so as to be able to think about it constructively and clear-sightedly, and to explore some complex feelings and thoughts which may often be taboo and hard to talk about.
The focus of discussion is participants’ thoughts and feelings about the climate and ecological crisis. There are no guest speakers and no talks, and it is an advice-free zone. Whilst the climate and ecological crisis is usually the main focus of the café we realise too, in these exceptional times, that COVID19 is another life-threatening preoccupation and needs a space to be explored – and this can happen here too.
This café will be led by trained facilitators.
A reminder email will be sent to registered participants in the week leading up to the café, followed by the Zoom link the day beforehand. Please check spam/junk folders and if you have any issues contact us at [email protected]

It is essential to have attended a climate café before undertaking this training. More detail below. What is a Climate Café? A Climate Café is a simple,
A Climate Café is a simple, hospitable, empathetic process that offers a space where fears and uncertainties about our climate crisis can be safely expressed, leading over time to greater emotional resilience and understanding.
We need the kind of exploration that Climate Cafés provide as it becomes more evident that climate change is not a far-away problem but a clear and present danger to our own safety and wellbeing. People increasingly need to talk about what our changing climate means for them in terms of impacts at personal, family and societal level. We need to imagine it in some detail so as to be able to think about it constructively and clear-sightedly, and to explore some complex feelings and thoughts which may often be taboo and hard to talk about.
The focus of discussion is participants’ thoughts and feelings about the climate crisis. There are no guest speakers and no talks, and it is an advice-free zone. This is psychologically important, helping to create the supportive atmosphere.
Climate Psychology Alliance members are establishing climate cafés in communities across the UK, and we want to see them taking place in every location.
This workshop will support participants to develop the confidence to set up their own Climate Café. It will include a short taster climate café, the psycho-social principles on which Climate Cafés are based, building a toolkit of practical resources, and a discussion of the organisation and facilitation of Climate Cafés.
Yes. You do not need a therapeutic background to take this workshop but it is essential that you have attended a climate café as a participant before doing this training.
This will need to be a climate café that:
If you cannot get a place on one of ours, an internet search or a browse on Eventbrite should produce some. You can check with the organiser if it meets the criteria above or get in touch with us. Please do join our waiting lists as spaces regularly become available at short notice.
All our climate cafés are listed here.
Rebecca Nestor, doctoral researcher at the Tavistock Centre, who has been facilitating Climate Cafés in Oxford for two years
Gillian Broad, professor of social work at the University of Sussex and an experienced facilitator of reflective groups including Climate Cafés.
Sat 11th Mar 14.00 – 17.00 GMT
Cost: £20 standard rate & £5 concessionary rate (for students and those on low income).

Location: In person and 100% outdoors at Johnstone Terrace Garden, 7/8 Castle Wynd S, Edinburgh EH1 2JT
This is the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s smallest reserve and is located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, near to Edinburgh Castle, a 10-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley train station.
What to expect:
During this free two-hour training session aimed at youth work practitioners, you will spend time participating in a variety of creative outdoor activities that Rowanbank facilitate with the young people they work with.
You will enjoy foraged seasonal tea made on the fire, make some bread, sky gaze in hammocks hung from the trees and tell stories.
We will talk about climate change and biodiversity loss, and how to manage the complex emotions associated with this.
There will also be time to ask questions about Rowanbank’s work, network and share best practice with each other.
We hope these activities will inspire and give you the confidence and knowledge to undertake creative outdoor learning with your own groups of young people, whether you’re based in an urban or rural environment, with minimal resources and no matter your experience.
Spaces are limited so please sign up for your FREE space early to avoid disappointment.
Additional information:
This event will be held entirely outdoors. In the case of bad weather, participants will be informed and we will move the training indoors at a central Edinburgh location.
Please be mindful that there are no public toilets on site with Waverley station being the closest facilities a 10-minute walk away.
You do not require any previous experience of outdoor learning to take part and we encourage participation from practitioners who are curious to learn more and who are prepared to get stuck in to these hands-on activities!
Please bring: Warm and waterproof clothing, appropriate footwear, and an optional hot water bottle, blanket and flask of hot water for story time!
This training event is being delivered by YouthLink Scotland as part of Scotland’s Young People’s Forest, in partnership with Young Scot. The mission of the panel is to create and regenerate native Scottish forests, which are accessible to all, to help combat the current climate emergency, promoting and connecting education, wildlife, and well-being.

Read our first ‘daily readings’ and check out a self care planning tool which are core parts of the project.
Find out more by emailing [email protected]
Most people who are gripped by fear, sadness, anger, confusion, powerlessness and other strong emotions are vulnerable to episodes of burnout or hopelessness. Strong emotions drive change and Earth and society are undoubtedly made better by compassionate people doing what they can to act on these issues. But constructive progress can often seem out of reach. At times like these making time for self care, and connecting with resilient peers, will be among the most effective ways to re-empower yourself to continue striving for the just and enlightened society you aim to help bring about.
Inspired by the spirit of Glasgow’s 2021 Climate Justice March and with a £10k grant from The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland – Together for Our Planet programme, EAR Peer Support is funded until March 2023.

The Cafe is a safe, informal space to meet with interested others over tea and cake.
Whether you’ve just begun to worry about the environmental and ecological breakdown, are an activist or climate professional, you’re all welcome.
It’s an advice-free zone, we don’t plan actions, discuss climate policy, try to change your mind or even persuade you to get involved in our work. Instead, you’ll find a supportive, facilitated gathering where you can voice concerns that may not be welcomed or echoed elsewhere.
Based on the Climate Psychology Alliance Model adapted from Death Cafes.
Meets monthly on 3rd Wed of the month

A simple social gathering with facilitators where we can talk about our thoughts and feelings about the climate emergency.
A Climate Café is an opportunity to give ourselves time to sit, perhaps with a hot drink and a slice of cake, and describe our thoughts and feelings about the crises of our ecology.
Climate Cafés are bounded by confidentiality although they are not therapy sessions. We invite you to take part in a warm, hospitable, facilitated conversation where you can reflect on your and others’ feelings without being bounced into action. This is one way of coping with the challenges facing us all.
This cafe will take place on Zoom, so please feel free to have some coffee or cake at home while you meet with us virtually.
The focus of discussion is participants’ thoughts and feelings about the climate and ecological crisis. There are no guest speakers and no talks, and it is an advice-free zone. You can find out more about ithere. Alternatively, you might be able to find some closer to where you are geographically.
This event is free and anyone aged 18 years and over, from any background, is warmly welcome. Please feel free to share the event with your friends and family

Where the wild Atlantic Ocean swells, where waves sing on to the shoreline and eagles soar above craggy cliffs, nestled between Skye and the Ardnamuchan peninsula, sparsely populated, energy is supplied only by sun, wind and water and the land is owned entirely by the community. The Isle of Eigg offers solitude, wildness and adventure for all those who seek it.
Our trip will run from Sunday 9th – Friday 14th July 2023. During out week we will take part in activities to explore the island, engage with the local community and get involved with some conservation work alongside the ranger service. You can expect a week filled with adventure, good food and stunning scenery. The evenings will be relaxed with beach barbecues, stories, games and island summer sunsets.
This can count towards your Duke of Edinburgh Gold Residential if you are looking for opportunities to work towards that.
