The Student Climate Project's Tour of Climate Action will see events at campuses around the country in 2008. The first event is being held in Cambridge from the 15th to 17th of February, and will see an exciting three days of arts, action, education, and also a chance to for everyone to get involved in the planning for the tour's future. The aim of the Student Climate Project, run through consensus decision making, is to encourage the wider body of students to take radical action against climate change. The Project came out of talks held at the Heathrow Climate Camp in August.
The aim of the Cambridge event from the 15th to 17th of February is to reach out to the student population in Cambridge, inspiring radical action against climate change through outreach and demonstration. The event divides into three parts, and you don't have to be a student to contribute to our work. We need as many people as possible to make what we do a success...
Friday 15th of February: Day of Active Outreach...
By this we don't mean just the usual dull petitions and leafleting. Instead we are going to see an exciting myriad of activities, both participative and engaging. At 1PM we are having an EXTREME WEATHER FLASHMOB, where we ask everyone to CONVERGE ON MARKET SQUARE WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES ONE bringing an UMBRELLA and any other extreme weather costumes you fancy.
Having made an impact it is then planned to see a variety of actions, theatre pieces, and outreach taking place around market square. Everyone is very welcome to bring their own things along, be it a piece of participatory art or street theatre. We also encourage any actions against climate criminals that day, to raise the profile of the role of direct action in our fight against climate change.
You are more than welcome to just turn up in Market Square at 1pm and do your thing, but if you want to coordinate with us or want anymore information then you can contact us on
process@studentclimateproject.org.uk and we'd love to hear from you.
Saturday 16th of February: Climate Changes: What Next?
