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:

The photography exhibition “unbroken.solutions – repair is essential” by Mark A Phillips will be open to the public for free on March 2nd, 4th and 5th 2023 at Made in Stirling.
This exhibition will coincide with and celebrate Circular Communities Scotland’s Share and Repair Network’s ‘Share and Repair Gathering‘.
‘unbroken.solutions’ explores the impact and responses to environmental damage from our electrical and electronic waste.
Highlighting solutions from multiple perspectives, unbroken.solutions examines various approaches to e-waste and repairing, from looking at countries where e-repair culture exists, local authority led responses, communities and volunteer groups providing local responses, to independent repairers.
Underpinning all of these explorations are those who seek to change the laws, regulations and incentives to give us all the ‘right to repair’.
Working with communities, Repair Cafés, the Restart Project and Right to Repair Europe campaign, the aim of unbroken.solutions is to shine a light on solutions. Solutions that others can learn from and then adapt or adopt, so that together we can make better use of what we have and build more sustainable approaches.
Please note, there are no tickets needed for this event.

How can we break our addiction to oil? Join us for a special screening of ‘The Oil Machine’ as we explore our economic, historical and emotional entanglement with fossil fuels by looking at the conflicting imperatives around North Sea oil & gas. This invisible machine at the core of our economy and society now faces an uncertain future as activists, citizens and investors demand change. Is this the end of oil?
The film brings together a wide range of voices – oil company executives and workers, economists, young activists, pension fund managers – and asks how this machine can be tamed, dismantled or repurposed.
With an expert panel discussion after the screening, featuring:
The film screening will happen at the Cinema Space, Edinburgh College of Art (ECA). To find the Cinema Space, enter ECA from Lauriston Place, walk to the ECA Cafe and walk straight through it, then follow the signs for the ‘ECA Cinema Space’.

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].

Join SCOTLAND: The Big Picture at Bustle and Buzz in Kirkcaldy for a morning of free rewilding crafts to help you wild your space.
Drop in and make your own seed bomb or bird feeder to support the wildlife in your local wild space and learn a little about rewilding.
This is suitable for families and children aged 5+.
About SCOTLAND: The Big Picture
In order to meet the growing challenges of climate breakdown and biodiversity loss, we need to see The Big Picture. Rewilding reaches beyond simply protecting species or habitats within nature reserves or protected areas and instead, seeks to transform Scotland’s land and seas so that they work for nature, climate and people.
What is rewilding?
For us, rewilding is an evolving process of nature recovery that leads to restored ecosystem health, function and completeness.
Our view of rewilding is built around these principles:
About #NextGen
This event is delivered as part of our NextGen outreach programme, which is aimed at encouraging young people to take an interest in rewilding.
About Bustle and Buzz
Bustle and Buzz is a zero waste shop that can help people make ethical, environmentally friendly spending choices. We have over 500 products on refill to reduce plastic consumption as well as hundreds of ethical and handmade gifts and eco friendly products to help the switch from single use to reusable. We are thrilled to now bring those products to you online as well. Your zero waste journey begins here!

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]

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.

Creative Carbon Scotland is working with Eden Court, NatureScot and other regional organisations across Scotland on a series of local assemblies for creative climate
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

Beyond Oil and Gas – What does it mean for Peterhead?
Join us for two short films, Offshore and The Future’s Not F*cked, exploring the world of oil and gas and what’s beyond it from the perspective of those who work in the industry and those who live in a region shaped by it.
As the climate crisis intensifies, it becomes ever more urgent that we transition away from burning fossil fuels. So, what does this mean for Peterhead, especially in light of proposals to build a new gas fired power station in the area?
Friends of the Earth Scotland are campaigning for a just transition, this means frontline workers and communities are central in shaping how their industry and the places they live moves towards a better future away from fossil fuels.
A discussion will be held following the screenings to find out how you can get involved in shaping the Just Transition in Peterhead.
🍿 Free popcorn will be provided for the first 30 attendees 🍿

Can one footprint imprint on our collective consciousness and create change? A walk; a pilgrimage, an odyssey…for the planet. Five hundred miles from London to Glasgow: Eight weeks, 56 days
Can one footprint imprint on our collective consciousness and create change? A walk; a pilgrimage, an odyssey…for the planet.
Five hundred miles from London to Glasgow: Eight weeks, 56 days and more than 56 host organisations, over a thousand walkers and thirty rolls of 16mm celluloid film.
More than a year ago, when delegates were heading to Glasgow on private jets to attend the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP), a group of people embarked on a radically different and much slower pilgrimage; an emotionally charged 56 day journey on foot from London and Bristol to Glasgow. Benjamin Wrigley’s Of Walking On Thin Ice captures this entrancing act of resistance in gritty home developed celluloid.
In celebration of this moving account of embodied activism, we invite people to join us in retracing the last five miles of the original Camino to COP26. Our final destination will be Civic House, where the walkers will share a communal meal before the film is screened for the first time in Glasgow. The event will also include a screening of The Ghost Forest (John Davies, 2021), following a group of indigenous leaders and activists from the Amazon on their journey to visit a rare and last remnant of rainforest habitat in Scotland.
After the screening local artists and activists Zoe Walker and Neil Bromwich will be in conversation with Of Walking on Thin Ice director Benjamin Wigley about ideas of path making, community action, non-violent resistance and protests as the harvest of a change in public imagination. The conversation will be led by artist and curator Ane Lopez (A+E Collective).
Whether or not you join the walk, all ticket holders are welcome to join us for hot food from 3pm. Go to the GSFF box office at Civic House to claim your meal voucher. For more details on the walk, and how to register, please follow this link.

Come and be a part of this afternoon in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh where we through creative and scientific means will explore the role of trees in the climate crisis and biodiversity collapse.
Plants have always traversed seas, intentionally and inadvertently. At this event we will get a chance to experience the exhibition In Shipping Roots, by Keg de Souza that explores how plants have moved through the British Empire including eucalyptus, prickly pear and many seedlings which came to the UK in sheep fleeces. The exhibition highlights the role of art in linking the story of plants, history, and people in a physical space, opening up dialogues and imaginaries that are critical in finding solutions to the climate crisis.
This event will also include a guided walk by Dr Max Coleman, Science Communicator for the Botanics who will talk us through how and why a shift to natural regeneration is positive for plants and planet. Finally, we will hear from James McDougall, Carbon Manager for the Woodland Trust Scotland, who will speak on sustainable carbon management and tree planting in Scotland followed by an open discussion.
Programme:
14.00: Meet in front of Inverleith House
14.10: Introduction
14.30: Exhibition tour by Keg de Souza and Emma Nicolson

About our speakers
Dr Max Coleman
Max Coleman has had an interest in trees for as long as he can remember. It was the tree collection at Kew Gardens in London, near where he grew up, that stimulated his interest in botany. He worked for a number of years in nature conservation, and this developed an interest in natural forests and the processes that operate within them. As a science communicator he aims to make plant science accessible and engaging.
Emma Nicolson
Emma Nicolson, Head of Creative Programmes was appointed to RBGE in December 2018. She formerly served as founding director of ATLAS Arts based in the Isle of Skye and spent three years as a senior manager for Australia’s Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. Emma has been actively involved in the arts for over twenty years working with leading cultural institutions across the world.
James McDougall
The Woodland Trust Scotland wants the Scottish Government to increase planting targets of native species. At this event James McDougall, Woodland Trust’s carbon manager will outline how the Woodland Trust monetarise carbon and provide a case study of a good example of sustainable tree planting.

‘Burnt Out’ is a solo dance theatre work centred around our changing climate. Weaving spoken word and movement we are taken on a journey through past bushfires including Penny’s own experiences, through their ignition and devastation, and left with space to ponder how we got here.
Embedded in its soundscape are sounds from Black Summer – of magpies that have learnt to mimic emergency sires, of the shark sirens used to draw attention to the fire blackened skies, and of helicopters circling overhead. Original music from Paul Michael Henry interwoven with the stark lighting of Great Snakes.
Bringing together both past and future, fact and personal lived account, ‘Burnt Out’ is at once an intimate personal story and a universal meditation and reflection on our changing climate.

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.

Doors at 7pm, come early to discover climate groups & activists operating across Scotland. Discussion will begin at 7.30pm.
For too long, representations of climate action in the mainstream media have been white-washed, green-washed and diluted to be made compatible with capitalism.
We are living in an economic system which pursues profit above all else; harmful, oppressive systems that heavily contribute to the climate crisis, and environmental consequences that have been toned down to the masses. Tackling the climate crisis requires us to visit the roots of poverty, capitalist exploitation, police brutality and legal injustice. Climate justice offers the real possibility of huge leaps towards racial equality and collective liberation as it aims to dismantle the very foundations of these issues. In her debut book, campaigner Mikaela Loach offers a fresh and radical perspective for real climate action that could drastically change the world as we know it for the benefit of us all.
Written with candour and hope, It’s Not That Radical will galvanise readers across generations to take action, offering an accessible and transformative appraisal of our circumstances to help mobilise a majority for the future of our planet.
Practical and urgent – this is a clarion call for transformation from the front lines of the fight for people and planet. I have no doubt It’s Not That Radical will become an indispensable toolkit for a new generation of activists – Naomi Klein
Come and celebrate with us – not just this phenomenal new book, but the possibilities it creates and the movement it is part of.

Climate Week North East is 10 days packed full of fun, inspiring and interesting events, designed to raise awareness of climate change but, more importantly, show what we can all do to make a difference and reduce our carbon footprint, live sustainably and increase biodiversity in a fun way. It occurs every March, with events on throughout Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire. The next Climate Week North East is on 24th March – 2nd April 2023.
Events in Climate Week North East differ each year but generally include family fun days, guided walks and bike rides, upcycling events, tours, wild meadow making, workshops and discussions, conferences, litter picks, films and talks, craft and story sessions, information drop ins and challenges.
We welcome any events that have as their focus how you are or we can reduce carbon emissions, live sustainably and increase biodiversity. If you have an event you would like to put on during CWNE even if it’s simply to showcase what you currently are doing, then get in touch at [email protected]
Check out our past CWNE brochures to gain inspiration or simply see what type of events have taken place previously. For up to the moment information on our events and what is going on locally see our facebook page.
