Tour for Climate Action launch gathering next week

The Student Climate Project | 11.01.2008 21:04 | Climate Camp 2007 | Climate Chaos | Education | Cambridge

The Student Climate Project is having a Launch Gathering at The Common Place in Leeds from 4pm on the 19th January till 4pm the following day. Crash space and vegan food is to be had by all. The main focus of the gathering is to plan for our Tour of Climate Action, which will see exciting events take place on campuses across the UK throughout 2008.

Launched at the Heathrow Climate Camp, The Student Climate Project was launched with the view to get the wider student body onboard in the fight against Climate Change. It aims not only to get people thinking and caring about climate change and the fundemental threat it poses to us all, but also to encourage people into taking radical action. Amongst key priorities of the group is to move away from the culture of 'do your bit' and 'offset this', with a more positive and inspiring approach of taking collective political action against the root causes.

The Project held its launch gathering in December, and decided that the big project for 2008 would be a Tour of Climate Action. This will see an exciting range of events take place at campuses across the UK during 2008. This next gathering in Leeds will be where we brainstorm and then piece together an ambition plan. By the end of the weekend we intend to have concrete plans for concrete action.

The Tour can include anything we want it to, but is likely to feature arts, street-theatre, actions, fun climatey things, and popular education. We already have working groups putting together ideas, but we need loads more people to make the event successful. All are welcome at Leeds, student or not, to make this Tour amazing.

If you are keen to get involved but can't make Leeds then drop your ideas through to  process@studentclimateproject.org.uk in the coming days, and we will make sure they are heard at the gathering. Also we can put you in touch with a working group, all will be needing lots of help following the gathering. If you are keen for your university to be a stop on the Tour then email  logistics@studentclimateproject.org.uk

See you all soon!

Apologies, but we are not holding our "launch" gathering in Leeds this month (as it says in the abstract) because as you will gather from reading the article we held this in December. The gathering in Leeds is instead going to be where we piece together our Tour of Climate Action.

Sorry about that, and see you in Leeds on the 19th, 4pm!
