Explore the universe with this exciting breakdancing workshop for children aged 7-11: push against the Earth with your own hands and feet to explore the identity of home and our neighbour planets, and understand why they all are so different!

Celebrate Windrush 75! Join us for an unforgettable all-day event of Windrush Day Activities!

This year, we commemorate the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the Windrush Generation. The Windrush generation refers to the incredible individuals who journeyed to the UK between 1948 and 1971 from Caribbean countries, mainly Jamaica, on the iconic HMT Empire Windrush. They were invited by the British government to help rebuild the country after World War II and were granted indefinite leave to remain.

Learn the most impactful ways to tackle climate change and work together to create a cultural shift through art and culture.

Event dates: Wednesday 14th June, 5.30pm - 7.30pm & Wednesday 28th June, 5.30pm - 7.30pm. Please attend both sessions.

Green Arts Oxfordshire Network has developed a Carbon Literacy Training course for Oxfordshire’s cultural community, certified by the internationally recognised Carbon Literacy Project. To celebrate, GAON is offering Oxfordshire’s artists, activists, musicians, theatre professionals, performers, writers and creative freelancers of all kinds a one-time introductory offer of £10 for a space in the first cohort, limited to 15 people.

This 3-part online Carbon Literacy Course will give you a contextual understanding of what climate change is, the scale of its effects, the most impactful ways to reduce carbon emissions in our sector and what we can do as cultural leaders locally, nationally and globally to work towards net-zero and climate justice.

Carbon Literacy is “An awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.”

The sustainability consultancy firm Jacobs did a study on the effectiveness of Carbon Literacy training, and discovered there is between a 5 and 15% carbon saving per person for those that undertake the training.

You will be certified as Carbon Literate by making an individual pledge and a community pledge of what you can do within your power to make a significant difference to your carbon impact.

Please book via the eventbrite link below....

Who is this three-part Course aimed at?

This course is designed for Oxfordshire’s arts and cultural sector, for individual creative practitioners as well as staff and volunteers of museums, galleries, theaters, arts centres, festivals, cinemas and other types of cultural organisations and community groups.
