Sustainable Futures Workshop

Skills for Sustainable Futures ..

Black Mountains College and Green Soul invite you to explore what role you can play in creating a just society within safe planetary boundaries.  

What skills do we need and what is the right thing to do for you, society, and the planet?  

During this workshop we will map out what we do and don’t know about a future impacted by climate change, and you will gain an understanding of different scenarios that we need to collectively prepare for. Together we will imagine positive futures and work back to the present to explore what we can do now.  

As part of the afternoon, you will hear about how Green Soul is fostering community spaces for nature connection in Cardiff and Black Mountains College will share more about studying our degree: ‘Sustainable Futures: Arts, Ecology and Systems Change’. 

This workshop is free to attend – please book your spot!  (Booking link coming soon!)

  • Anyone passionate about making a difference in the world. 
  • Anyone thinking about the world of work and education at a time of uncertainty and ecological crisis. 
  • This event is for people of all ages and backgrounds.
