What is ‘Eco-changemakers’?

A fun and creative opportunity for 15 like-minded local young people. We’ll meet every Sunday for 10 weeks, starting with a series of workshops where you’ll be able to develop your knowledge of and skills in art, nature, sustainability and social action. We’ll then support you to create your own Eco-changemaker project over 4 sessions. This project could be a workshop, talk, performance, art piece (or something we haven’t thought of!) which you will present at our Spring Community Open Day at Cody Dock during the Easter holidays.
