CLIMATE CAFE
The next climate café will be on Sunday 29th March 17:00-19:00
Location: Locavore 349 Victoria Rd G42 7SA
The Climate Café is for those dealing with difficult feelings that arise from the climate crisis. It is an open platform for airing non-judgemental personal reflections and thoughts in a friendly space with like-minded people.
Importantly, we will NOT engage in any action planning. The focus is on personal and shared wellbeing, emotions and feelings. We’re holding a safe space to actively listen and supporting each other.
WORKING GROUPS
Some of these working groups meet within our weekly Tuesday meetings (see above) but many meet outside of this too. You can find out more about this by coming along to a Tuesday meeting and joining the inductions section or contacting XR Glasgow
