The roll out of our new climate science training continued this month with a free Climate Fresk session for Cumbria Sustainability Network members working alongside Zero Carbon Cumbria.

Groups from across Cumbria were invited to take part in the Climate Fresk course, helping us reach reach as wide a audience as possible, and gain vital feedback for future courses.

The Cumbria Sustainability Network is a wide ranging network of community groups from across the county. They work within their local area to develop projects that that promote a sustainable way of living and decarbonisation. You can find out more about the network here.

Climate Fresk is our new 3 hour course exploring climate science, causes and consequences. It is card-based, dynamic and accessible  and you can read more about it here. 

Members were invited to take part in the card-based session, as well as given time to meet other sustainability network members. The session finished with an exploration of different projects across Cumbria and how they fit with the Zero Carbon Cumbria emission baseline.

Our Carbon Literacy Training Manager, Hazel Graham,  explains about the day:

“There was such a buzz in the room. A real feel of collective learning, joint problem-solving, a sense of engagement and focus. The interactive session inspires conversation and allows those taking part to debate and grapple with the issue, developing a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change. We’d love to offer that experience to many more people, so in September we are running our first ever public Climate Fresk for Cumbria , and our team can come out to an organisation or community and run a session there”

Book your place on our next Climate Fresk course, Tuesday 17 September, 9:45.
