Here is the report from an afternoon spent with 44 climate activists on 13th September 2020. The event was our launch of ECOLISE’s ‘Communities for Future’ Programme. The General Assembly was also an opportunity for community activists to steer our support and decide SCCAN’s priority for activities. During the event, we explored the themes of Storytelling, Podcasts, Regional Gatherings, Local Zero Carbon Plans, Governance skills and Fundraising.
We heard Davie Philip’s Presentation on grassroots empowerment in tackling the Climate and Ecological Emergency. you can watch his presentation here:

Very inspirational and encouraging.”
