Our Positive Future: A hopeful, hands-on engagement event by Exeter Science Centre
Sunday 29th June | Drop-in event 10am – 5pm | “The Climate Confluence” visioning session (5pm – 8pm)
Local charity Exeter Science Centre is running a hands-on event to engage the public with the Exeter Climate Forum – and the team is looking for enthusiastic delegates to share their work and their expertise as part of the event! No preparation required, just a willingness to chat to the public ‘on their level’.
Participants will be provided with a written guide about the exhibits and activities, and can attend an optional video call session to ask any questions. The event is in two parts: a drop-in daytime event for the general public, and bookable evening event for climate scientists and local groups, to work out how to translate climate research into tangible local action.
Conference delegates who wish to engage with the public are strongly encouraged to attend either/both events!
