Applications for the 2nd Creative Climate Leadership course, to be held in Slovenia in October 2017, are now open. Creative Climate Leadership is a new programme for artists and cultural professionals to explore the cultural dimensions of climate change, and take action with impact, creativity and resilience.
The 1st international Creative Climate Leadership training course took place in Wales (March 2017 - see list of participants) and the 2nd course takes place in Koper, Slovenia on 8-14 October 2017. The course is aimed at artists and cultural leaders and we welcome applications from all creative disciplines and art forms.
The five-day intensive course will enable participants to apply environmental targets and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals meaningfully to their work, and explore what leadership means in the context of a rapidly changing world. The course is facilitated by Julie’s Bicycle, a UK charity with almost ten years experience working on environmental issues in the cultural sector, and PiNA, a sustainable development NGO working in Slovenia and across the EU.
