Letters To Tomorrow: Organise your own event
This session gives an overview of Letters To Tomorrow and how you can host your own letter writing events in your community as part of Great Big Green Week this year. This session builds on the content in our Letters To Tomorrow Event Guide which you can access here.
Blackening the Green Movement
In this session Professor Robert Beckford talks about how we can engage more black and brown people within sustainability and climate movements.
Communicating Climate Change
Ahead of your events, you might be thinking about how you can talk to your communities and the people attending your events about climate change and taking action.
Ben McCallan, founding member of Zero Carbon Guildford, talks us through the best ways to communicate the issue of climate change and drive better engagement during your Great Big Green Week activities and beyond.
Organise a Great Big Green Get Together
The Great Big Green Week (10 – 18 June) and the Great Get Together (23 – 25 June) are both running during June and what better way to be involved by running your own Great Big Green Get Together?
This session covered the ideas behind both campaigns and how you could potentially link them together, either in a single event or a series of events. Both are flexible events which fit naturally together; the Great Big Green Week focusing on protecting the environment while the Great Get Together is all about celebrating what we have in common.
Whether it be using action on climate change to unite different parts of your community, or celebrating a week of action we’d love for your event to be part of both campaigns.
Engaging the Media with The Media Trust
This session, hosted by The Media Trust, will provide you with the skill and confidence to talk to the media about Great Big Green Week and your events. Helping you to bring your stories and events to life in the media!
