Climate Crumbs: West Glasgow

Climate Crumbs is a 2 hour, in-person professional development programme for community practitioners to learn how to integrate conversations about climate action into existing delivery.

This session is particularly for community workers in West Glasgow. We will be offering sessions in Central, South, East and North Glasgow in the near future.

We focus on projects and groups which deliver growing and/or cooking activities. We’ve designed the programme so that you can tap into the actions people are already doing, reframing them as positive for the climate e.g. using lentils as a cheaper alternative to meat is also far less carbon intensive.

At the end of the session, you will:

1. have a greater understanding of how both cooking and growing food are positive climate actions
2. have more confidence in bringing in climate activities and discussion topics to your group
3. take away a resource and activity pack to use with your groups and,
4. receive a digital sticker you can use on your website and social media to show you have completed the training

Inverclyde Community Food Network, previous attendees, have said:

We attended a fantastic workshop yesterday given byGlasgow Community Food Network on growing and cooking as positive climate actions and how we can initiate discussions and activities about climate in our own gardening and cooking sessions. Really informative and useful and reinforced how important our community gardens are.

We find that this training works best with a group size of 10 but we are flexible with numbers.
