A Sustainability Café for climate change related community groups
Wednesday 4th June 2008, 6 – 9 pm at the Create Centre, Bristol
This sustainability café is a follow-up activity to the FoE and Avon Wildlife Trust’s survey of Climate Change related community groups. It will build upon the results and recommendations that emerged from the study to explore ways of supporting and facilitating cooperation between community groups in the Bristol/Avon region.
It will also provide an opportunity to feed into the development of Ecojam.org – a new website dedicated to raising the profile of local green businesses, organisations and community initiatives and connecting them with each other and the people of the Bristol region. Ecojam was born out of the Sustainability Cafes’ organised by the Bristol Sustainability Network and is kindly supported by the University of Bristol and Bristol City Council.
Aims of the workshop
- To facilitate interaction and the sharing of ideas between groups
- To train participants in the World Café technique
- To raise awareness amongst community groups of how the Ecojam website can support and promote their activities
- To explore how Ecojam can be improved to best support their work.
We are very excited about us all getting together to explore how community groups in and around Bristol might cooperate, share experiences and ideas and interact regularly. A test version of Ecojam will go live on 6th May.
Hope to see you there!
