Monday 26^th April  7.30-9pm: Inspiring sustainability projects on Skye
 
This is the first of a series of monthly Pop-up meetings on a range of topics relevant to climate action.

Zoom in to hear from
Tracy Keenan (Broadford Forest School), Matt Harrison (ACE Academy), and Heather Fulton (Atlas Arts). We anticipate stimulating discussion.
 
Each of our speakers will give a presentation on their project(s). There will then be an opportunity to ask questions and to have a general discussion about sustainability. Again, this is fairly informal and we encourage people to join in with their ideas, but it is also fine to watch and listen without saying anything. Come along and be inspired!
