Creative Climate Club
A free, monthly meeting for people who care about nature and are interested in responding creatively to the world around us.
Creative Climate Club is a free, monthly meeting for people who care about nature and are interested in creatively responding to the world around us, our local environment, and wider climate issues.
The monthly meetings will involve creative activities which can help us care for the environment, such as:
- Creative opportunities with artists, such as painting, collage, sketch-booking, and photography
- Opportunities to learn with local community experts, such as bee foraging walks, pond ecology, and talks about the River Tyne and its health
- The chance to make a connection with local nature, wildlife, and planting of urban spaces, such as a ‘garden crawl’ to local community gardens
Upcoming Dates:
Saturday 22nd August, 14:00 - 16:00
