Climate Connections is looking for ten Brighton & Hove residents to share their stories for an exciting new climate change project.
The aim of Climate Connections is to link residents in Brighton & Hove with people around the world, sharing their experiences, challenges and responses to climate change.
If you have a story to share, you will have the opportunity to be featured in a city-wide photographic exhibition. We hope to follow your experiences throughout the duration of the project. We are committed to making your participation and contribution to this project a rewarding experience.
Does your story relate to any of these themes?
Adaptation: Are you having to adapt your everyday life because of climate change?
Prevention: What changes have you made in your life to reduce your own personal impact on the planet?
Impacts: Is climate change having an impact on your life or the lives of relatives and friends living outside the UK?
Education: Are you involved in communicating and learning around climate change? What initiatives are happening in your school or college?
Community champions: How are you taking the lead in your neighbourhood or community to raise awareness and encourage action on climate change?
The project will tell the stories of women, men and children from communities across the city.
Climate Connections is an exciting partnership project with Brighton Peace and Environment Centre, Brighton & Hove City Council and Oxfam GB. The project will consist of a photographic exhibition, accompanying website and community workshops.
Please send us full details about yourself, where you live in the city, your story (150 words max.) and why you should be considered (and photo if possible), by Friday 29 January 2010. We will let you know if you have been chosen by Friday 5 February 2010.
