Join us for an inspiring East Devon SkillShare event!

Are you passionate about reuse, repair, waste reduction, surplus food, growing food, biodiversity and nature recovery, composting, climate action or sustainable behaviours? This event is free and open to community groups, local volunteers and members of public.

At a time of uncertainty and instability this is an opportunity to come together and remind ourselves that the actions we take locally do make a difference. Come along for a day of connection with other likeminded people and learning about their projects, feel inspired, recharge your volunteering batteries, build your well being and resilience to return to your projects and activities feeling renewed.

What’s in store?

Morning

• Join an excursion to Blackdown Hills Eco Hub – explore how they’re championing organic vegetable cultivation in healthy microbe rich living soils, advancing biochar research and supporting regenerative agriculture
• Take a creative response to Climate Change with Thelma Hubert Gallery – the gallery will be leading a workshop for groups who would like to develop creative projects that create new opportunities to help communities understand and adapt to our changing planet.
