Climate Adaptation for Creatives

The programme follows a peer-learning approach that celebrates the experience of all participants and encourages you to learn in your own context and from each other. The learning will take place over 20 weeks, in a carefully curated online environment with engaging resources, expert led sessions and experiential activities that take ideas off the page and into the wild.

You will pursue your own interests and develop solutions that suit your skillset and context. Using all your senses, you will supercharge your ability to creatively respond to the challenges of these times, reimagining the practice of arts and seeding stories for positive futures.

This is an open call for individuals in the United Kingdom and the following countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
