Climate-Forward Culture: Practical Sustainability | ZMINA:Resilience webinar #7

🌿 𝗭𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗔:𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 | 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀

We are excited to continue our Green Culture series, a program designed to help us redefine our artistic practices toward sustainability and responsibility. In an era of climate change, ecology in culture is a necessity — but how do we translate high-level goals into daily operations?

This session aims to position arts and culture within the transformational change required for a sustainable future. Through a combination of presentation and interactive elements, trainer 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗼 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 will guide us through the practicalities of environmental sustainability. We will cover methods for minimizing environmental impacts while centering climate justice in our actions.

A key part of the session is exploring "Just Resilience" — understanding how the cultural sector can contribute to a fair transition for everyone. By analyzing case studies from the Scottish cultural context (including sustainable travel and circular economy practices), participants will reflect on their own projects. You will learn to identify where you have direct control over your impact and where you can use your influence to advocate for wider systemic change.
