A Taste of Climate Craftivism

COSY – Craftivists of South Yorkshire is a newly formed group supported by Rotherham Climate Action looking to be creative and crafty around issues regarding climate change. This group aims to:

• raise awareness about climate issues
• share our thoughts and educate one another
• get to know other members of our community
• to have some fun in a relaxing environment

This one hour session will focus on making an origami heart to send to delegates attending the G7 Summit in June with a simple message. It will also introduce you to a long term project ‘Stitches for Survival‘! It will also answer questions you may have as well as general discussions about climate craftivism.

(Zoom details will be sent ahead of the session)
