Careers Day | Building a Green Future

Saturday 21 November | 10:00-16:30
Free, drop-in (no booking required)

If you’re looking for a career path that helps shape a sustainable tomorrow, this event is for you.

Join us for an exciting showcase designed to help young people, or anyone wanting to change their career direction, discover rewarding pathways in the creative and environmental sectors.

Throughout the day, you will be invited to connect directly with inspiring professionals working across nature and the outdoors, arts and culture, community and policy, green technology and engineering. Build your own schedule for the day from a carousel of interactive talks, hands-on creative workshops, and live tech demonstrations.

• Explore the world of slow fashion, design your own garments, or experiment with sculpting biomaterials.
• Imagine the future and explore your legacy as a good ancestor through hopeful storytelling.
• Connect with nature, see how honey is made, test out new green tech, and meet the industry leaders who are working with water, wind and renewable energies.

Full schedule of activities will be announced soon. Watch this space.

About Birds, Bees, Bikes and Trees

A partnership between Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, North East Young Dads & Lads (NEYDL) and Newcastle University, this project will support young dads to build their skills and confidence and support the local community's connection with nature in an urban environment. 

This project aims to transform the way society currently thinks about young fathers and their relationship with nature and climate and the extent to which these ideas influence policy and practice. The project will offer young dads support that enables them to positively engage in their communities and children's lives as well as feed their voices into local and national environmental policy. Learning will be shared regionally through Insights North East partnership and beyond using national networks. This will support other young dads and lads to become spokespeople for nature and climate, and challenge social preconceptions of young dads.
