The GreenLight Project offers an exciting community engagement opportunity for a wide range of groups to bring their perspective on climate change to the wider community of Nottingham during the international conference (COP26) being held in Glasgow on climate change and beyond.
The City Council, University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University, Ignite! and a diverse consortium of interested organisations are working together and have secured a city centre premises from 10th November (during COP26) until end of December where we can offer opportunities for outreach and community engagement.
The aim is to provide a welcoming space where a wide range of people and groups can learn more about what climate change, discover what the Universities and the City are doing to help address this challenge and to help each person explore what they can do to make a difference in their daily lives - we call this "COP - so what?"
The shop will have core opening hours of 12-3pm, Wednesday-Sunday. There will be permanent displays and activities available during these times. In addition to these permanent activities, we are seeking ideas and suggestions for events of all types, to take place outside of these core opening hours, which people can book onto.
You can:
•
Contribute creative activities that help people consider climate change
•
Join partners in providing a welcome for visitors and helping them with activities in the shop at different times from November
•
Share ideas with the public, explain and discuss, help and support (especially those who may be anxious about the climate change )
•
Develop social media content to tell the story of the Greenlight project
