USING ARTS AND CULTURE TO CREATE A CLIMATE-READY FUTURE
Creative Carbon Scotland and the Improvement Service have worked together to develop a free sprint training programme to empower local authority officers to utilise cultural and creative practices in the delivery of their work to help create a more sustainable future.
Working with arts and culture offers many opportunities to advance work on climate change adaptation, mitigation and the just transition, and this programme will provide both training and bespoke advice to help participants to develop work in this area.
The programme is open to any local authority officer who feels it will make a difference in the delivery of their role. This is likely to be those working in climate change adaptation or mitigation, just transition planning, community development, economic development or arts and culture, but other areas will be relevant too.
The programme will be delivered via Teams by members of Creative Carbon Scotland and input from artists and other experts in the field. There will be six hours of contact time and an expectation of six hours of individual work between sessions.
When signing up participants will be asked to submit a climate change- or sustainability-related challenge they want to work on through the programme.
You can submit an application using this online form before the deadline of Friday 19 July. Applicants should be able to display a demonstrable interest in the subject matter and work in roles that provide clear opportunities to apply the learning from the programme.
