Climate Change Events, Workshops and Training

All of our projects and activities aim to increase awareness of, and support people to tackle, the Climate Emergency. We also, run a range of specific climate change events, workshops and training aimed at engaging our community. You can read more about our events and training below.

We deliver activities from our building in Kirkcaldy Town Centre and on-site with groups and organisations across Kirkcaldy and Fife. We can also deliver online. Some events are open to everyone, and some are tailored to different audiences. See upcoming events on our events page.

Fife Climate Knowhow

Our in-depth Climate Knowhow training will tell you all you need to know to discuss the climate emergency. You will also be able to describe the actions you can take to tackle it. At the end of our course, you will have an understanding of climate science and the impact of climate change. You will have an awareness of the climate impacts of everyday activities. Our course has a Fife focus.

Climate Fresk

Climate Fresk turns understanding climate change into a game and has been played by more than 350,000 people worldwide. Participants work as a team to find the cause and effect relationships between 42 climate cards.  Participants then use the cards to build a collage that explains climate change. It is a collaborative and creative approach. It is perfect for those who prefer active learning rather than presentations.

First Climate Conversations

This introductory session allows participants to have a climate conversation with their peers. Participants will think about why climate change is relevant to us here in Fife. The training introduces some simple climate friendly actions and gives tips on how to talk about climate change. This is a good starting point for groups who are new to the issue of climate change.
