The Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP), Centre of Excellence, and the Centre for the Innovation and Research in Childhood and Youth (CIRCY) would like to invite you to a forthcoming community workshop where we will explore sustainability research that is important to the lives of children and young people.

The workshop brings together community organisations, young people, and researchers. The researchers will give short presentations, and workshop participants will be invited to share their own ideas, responses and questions. The aim is to collaborate on exploring complex sustainability issues where answers are not straightforward.

The presentations will include the following topics:

• Sustainable Futures and Not-So-Serious Play, Dr Jo Walton (Research Fellow in Arts, Climate and Technology)
• Action research on cultivating environmental awareness for youth through a SCUBA dive training scholarship, Nusa Penida Marine Protected Area (Indonesia), Prisilia Resoloute (Masters student, Institute of Development Studies)
• Citizen science for sustainable menstrual health, Dr Chi Ezifula (Senior Lecturer in Infection, Brighton & Sussex Medical School)
• Nurturing Nature with(in) Children – Nature in Education, Kathleen Bailey (Doctoral researcher, Department of Education)
• The Business of Play: Connecting resources through circular economies, Dr Christina Hancock (Director of the Centre for Teaching and Learning Research, Department of Education)

We very much look forward to welcoming you at this event.
