Claire was also part of Springboard, an event hosted by Creative Carbon Scotland to encourage creative climate action. She waved the flag for rural issues in relation to meeting net-zero, and was part of the cohort addressing decarbonisation of theatre-making and dance.
“Both events were inspiring and so valuable for bringing people together from different backgrounds and sectors to address the challenges we’re all facing around capacity and funding. A notable takeaway was that space to consider issues, create and meaningfully collaborate, must be afforded if real long lasting and impactful change is to be made. So watch this space…”
