Creative Public Engagement
Keeping local, community climate action on the agenda.
Engaging groups who are often excluded from climate conversations, and opening spaces for them to share their voices. Platforming diversity in fun, creative ways so our communities enjoy learning about each other’s experiences.

We all have thoughts and beliefs about the world we live in, and how we can make it better.
But we know that lots of people don’t feel included in more traditional forms of engagement.
We design spaces for people to speak with each other in ways that are fun and more accessible.

City Speaks
We spoke to neighbours, friends, and people in our communities about what actions they are taking to support their communities and the climate. We took their stories to libraries around Bristol, to share how everyday people are leading the city’s climate action.

Young people have an essential role to play in our climate future. We designed and hosted a model climate conference to give Bristol sixth formers a space to make their voices heard.

Future of Cities with The Bristol Cable
The Bristol Cable wrote four articles on transport as part of their ‘Future of Cities’ series. We spoke to experts and everyday Bristolians about how we can improve Bristol’s transport for the future.
