Culture for Climate Scotland is collaborating with Angus Climate Hub, artist Eve Mosher and Montrose LandxSea Film Festival and many organisations across Scotland to deliver a series of local assemblies for creative climate action. This local assembly will focus on creative responses to coastal erosion in Montrose. The morning will centre shared local knowledge, collective imagination and practical pathways for collaboration.

SPRINGBOARD brings together artists, cultural and sustainability organisations, climate workers, activists, local businesses, third-sector organisations and anyone interested in collaborating to form powerful local networks for creative climate action. Local assemblies are an opportunity to connect with other practitioners in your region to address climate change collectively. The events are for anyone working or volunteering in the climate or environmental sector, the arts, screen, creative industries, museums, heritage and libraries.

Tea, coffee and pastries will be provided upon arrival.
