Join us from 10.30-11am to chat in small groups about topical issues over Fairtrade tea, coffee and biscuits.

From 11 we will be having a focus on the perspectives of younger people on the climate and biodiversity emergencies. We will be hearing from:

• Friends of the Dales (FotD) about their Creative Campaigners Group, their volunteer network for people aged 20-30 who live locally and are interested in actively and creatively contributing to their environmental campaigns. Through such a close working relationship, FotD also aim to better understand the viewpoints of younger people and bring more diverse voices to theri campaigning work.
• A member of Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust’s Environmental Youth Forum, who will be showing a film that captures the journeys of our young people (12-24) as they engage with the diverse people and stunning landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. The film will also highlight conversations with various stakeholders, showcasing their ongoing efforts toward a sustainable future.

Available throughout the morning: a recycling box for blister packs (only available at Green Cafes, so please come into the Cafe and use the recycling box rather than leaving blister packs in the foyer of the Methodist Church). A bag for used toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes.
