Our two-part Fife Climate Knowhow course shares all you need to know about the climate emergency and how it can affect our lives.

Workshop 1: Climate Science & Justice – Tuesday 16th June, 10am–2pm

Workshop 2: Climate Action & Conversations – Tuesday 23rd June, 10am–2pm

This two-part programme of workshops in June supports you to:

  • Learn together about the science behind climate change by taking part in a Climate Fresk collage
  • Reflect on the local and global impacts of climate change and the importance of climate justice
  • Find tangible ways to reduce your carbon emissions and start your own climate action plan
  • Discuss our society’s climate silence and develop tools for talking to people about climate change

“I really enjoyed the collaborative nature of the Climate Fresk. Was good to learn and put that knowledge into context.” Fife Climate Knowhow participant, February 2026

The course includes presentation-style learning, as well as plenty of opportunities for group discussions, and climate related games and activities. We know that directly confronting climate change and its effects can be emotional. We set aside time for personal reflection throughout and encourage you to take additional breaks whenever you need.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

By booking you confirm that you plan to attend both workshops.

Become Carbon Literate!

“I was surprised to learn all the simple, everyday ways we can make changes to do ‘our bit’ and reduce our own carbon footprint.” Fife Climate Knowhow participant, February 2026

Our Fife Climate Knowhow course meets the Carbon Literacy Project Standard. By attending the two workshops and completing a short form you can become certified as Carbon Literate. Being Carbon Literate means gaining the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to reduce your own carbon footprint, and inspiring and influencing others to do the same. There is no cost to you if you wish to become Carbon Literate, and we can support you through the short process.

Who Should Attend?

Polling shows the majority of Scots are concerned about climate change and are aware of its risks to Scotland. However, it can be difficult to identify what we can do as individuals, know where to find trustworthy information, or the support needed to act. That’s where the Fife Climate Knowhow course comes in!

This course is for everyone living, studying or working in Fife. You don’t need any prior knowledge or understanding of climate change. Everyone who attends will learn something new, both from the course itself and through group discussions with other participants.

Please let us know of any support you may need to be able to take part in this course.
