A chance to come together and share our hopes and fears.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed or unsure about how you can rise up and make a difference to our climate and environmental crisis? Do you wonder what your role is? Do you question whether your actions will have an impact? If so, then this groundbreaking event is for you. You will hear from some of the UKs most inspirational change-makers and learn about the struggles, the insecurities, the fears and the overwhelm that have sometimes felt insurmountable. But such challenges have given rise to motivation, inspiration, strength, insight and ultimately hope, proving that humans have an innate capacity for positive change. And that crucially, we each have our own vital role.
As part of the event, you will be invited to share your own questions, challenges and doubts in small groups, facilitated by friendly and supportive mentors. You will get the chance to air self doubts as well as offering guidance, kinship and support to others. You will explore your own strengths, skills and passions to discover how your uniqueness can help shape the future.
Come with an open mind, an open heart, a willingness to share and a commitment to listening. And we’ll help you to discover the best ways you can make a difference.
