The meeting is open to artists\, arts organisations\, campaigners\, e nvironmental NGOs\, and anyone who has been developing plans for COP26.\n& nbsp\;\nCovid-19 is affecting all of our communities - whether in the arts or in wider society - as well as planning for COP26.  Acknowledging the current situation\, while also recognising all the pre-existing work to br ing together a broad and diverse climate movement to prepare for COP26\, w e are shifting the focus of this planned event.  We realise that many of our colleagues will be badly affected by the current situation and so will make this a space for sharing and connection\, as well as a place to thin k about the collaboration and creativity that will be needed\, as we emerg e from Covid-19 to plan for and respond to COP26 in 2021.\n \;\nThe ar ts have a specific role in addressing meaning\, value and subjectivity - “What does this mean to us as individuals and communities?” “What do we value and how can we imagine acting?” - that is especially relevant to the climate crisis and the current context with Covid-19. We want to ma ke sure that we can all sustain this role across the months ahead by conti nuing to work together.\n \;\nThe aims of the meeting are to:\n\n\n \ npromote new partnerships between arts\, activism\, and climate crisis pol icy and practice.\n\n \ndiscuss tactics which are inclusive and engage pe ople where they are\, understanding  how our methods will have to change in light of the coronavirus pandemic\n\n \nprovide updates on developing plans in light of the COP26 postponement as well as information and useful resources.\n\n\n \;\nWe understand that the current situation is diff icult and unpredictable for many\, so this event will be informal in chara cter and we will ensure to share as much of the content of the meeting as possible afterwards with anyone unable to attend at the time. This discuss ion will also provide a chance to keep in touch with other members of the community during isolation.\nSign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d /1b1MUBcMWvbmCOIk0rBwdp5RvG68zuL_Ab6w7TvCSm0s/edit CATEGORIES:Lectures, Presentations, Conferences,Action END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20200329T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
