Culture for Climate Scotland is collaborating with Buckie Library, Findhorn Bay Arts, Moray Climate Action Network, Moray Firth Coastal Partnership and many organisations across Scotland to deliver a series of local assemblies for creative climate action. This local assembly will focus on coastal regeneration in east Moray.

SPRINGBOARD local assemblies for creative climate action are dynamic regional networks of people and organisations working on culture and climate change – learning together, sharing knowledge and collaborating.

Local assemblies provide an opportunity to connect with fellow arts, culture, climate and environmental 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.

Do you need support to attend?

Culture for Climate Scotland is committed to ensuring that our events are welcoming and accessible for everyone. We value the diversity of our communities and the different experiences, identities and perspectives that people bring, including disability, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, economic status or caring responsibility.

We will make all possible adjustments to our events so that no one is excluded. These adjustments will, most likely, differ from event-to-event and person-to-person, so we need your help to get it right. We always provide access packs including ear defenders, sensory supports and reading overlays at in-person events.

Some adjustments may take more time to arrange than others, so we appreciate you giving us as much notice as possible about what you need so that we can support you to get the most out of this event.

Please inform us of your accessibility requirements for this event during the registration process. If you have any questions or concerns, please send an email to eleanor.white@cultureforclimate.scot or telephone +44 (0)131 243 2760 and speak to a member of staff.
