Communicating about your environmental actions

Welcome to our online workshop focusing on communicating about your cultural organisations' environmental actions. 

Join us on for an insightful session and discussion to help your organisation improve communication about your environmental efforts. This is part of a wider theme of sustainability in communications for cultural organisations that we will continue exploring in the future.

About this workshop

We will provide a short introduction to our new guide about communicating about environmental actions, followed by two speakers sharing insights on the topic. Terry Roberts, Sustainability Manager at Edinburgh International Festival (EIF), will share practical experience of how they've worked on communicating their environmental actions. Alex Randall, Head of Programme at Climate Outreach, will cover broader insights on communicating about climate change, audience engagement and ways to build trust. There will be time for questions for both speakers and for discussion.

EIF is an annual arts festival in Edinburgh and a member of our Green Arts Initiative, a proactive community of Scottish cultural organisations.

Climate Outreach is an organisation that works on creating effective climate communication strategies and promotes ambitious climate action. It conducts research and provides practical guidance to help organisations navigate climate conversations and foster climate actions.

Please make sure you familiarise yourself with the guide 'Communicating about your environmental actions' before the event.

Why should I attend?

To learn more about communicating about your environmental efforts, to get inspired and to explore how to take action within your cultural organisation.

What's on the agenda?

We will start by sharing an overview of the new guide before hearing some practical insights. This event will have plenty of time for questions and discussion. This session does not require active engagement, and it will be possible to simply listen in. However, we welcome and encourage discussion on the topic.

Date: Thursday 26 June
