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:

Join Circular Communities Scotland’s Share and Repair Network for its first ever ‘Share and Repair Gathering’ on March 3rd 2023.
The Share and Repair Gathering will be the first ever in person gathering of the Share and Repair Network, and will be hosted at the ‘vibrant, curated marketplace revitalising Stirling’s town centre’, Made in Stirling.
Open to all people and organisations interested in share and repair, as well as Circular Communities Scotland and Share and Repair Network members, the Share and Repair Gathering will be an opportunity for attendees to network with others interested in or already involved in share and repair activities across Scotland.
What to expect:
Join us at the Share and Repair Gathering to hear fascinating talks from keynote speakers. We’re looking forward to discussing how share and repair activities are important parts of radical movements to make the world a better place.
Participatory sessions will offer attendees the opportunity to learn from people involved in sharing and repairing activities, to find what the common challenges are, and what solutions we can create as a network.
People and organisations who are new to the world of sharing and repairing can learn from experienced practitioners in sessions dedicated to helping groups get set up.
Stay tuned for our Share and Repair Gathering programme.
Please note: Share and Repair Network members will have 2 free tickets per organisation. To book your ticket just choose “Share and Repair Network Member” at the checkout. To become a member, click here.
Made in Stirling will also host an ‘unbroken.solutions’ photography exhibition to celebrate the Share and Repair Gathering, which will be open to Share and Repair Gathering attendees, and the public, on March 2nd, 4th and 5th 2023. Tickets are not needed for this exhibition.

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].

What is a Climate Café? A climate café is a simple, hospitable, empathetic space where fears & uncertainties about our climate & ecological crisis can be
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]

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

The Climate Action Fife project runs an informal forum for Fife based groups to share ideas on what works when talking about climate change, what resources you have found to work and what tools you need to keep/get the conversation going. The forum takes place every 2 months on the third Thursday of the month.
It’s a lunchtime session with some presentations and guided discussion as well as a chance to bounce ideas of some supportive Fife folk for your engagement plans.
It’s open to all community organisations – those that are climate change organisations, as well as those who work on other community issues, but want to include climate action/education in their day-to-day delivery.
Every meeting, we will have a different topic to guide our discussion.

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].

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

The Climate Action Fife project runs an informal forum for Fife based groups to share ideas on what works when talking about climate change, what resources you have found to work and what tools you need to keep/get the conversation going. The forum takes place every 2 months on the third Thursday of the month.
It’s a lunchtime session with some presentations and guided discussion as well as a chance to bounce ideas of some supportive Fife folk for your engagement plans.
It’s open to all community organisations – those that are climate change organisations, as well as those who work on other community issues, but want to include climate action/education in their day-to-day delivery.
Every meeting, we will have a different topic to guide our discussion.
Please contact Alistair Macleod if you would like to attend, [email protected]
