The Great Collaboration Banter Sessions

The Great Collaboration is dedicated to helping councils and community organisations find the most appropriate and helpful “best practice” for their environmental and climate projects.  Their weekly Banter sessions are light-hearted, humorous, co-operative and thought-provoking, intended to demonstrate all the advantages of collaboration.  Sessions – nominally for an hour – consist of a presentation for 15 – 25 minutes, followed by a Q&A session that is traditionally very lively, full of useful comments and links.  Indeed, although they have never undershot the hour, they have occasionally run over time because of the intense interest generated.

Sessions are recorded, and the resulting video, presentation slides, chat text and the Zoom AI text of the meeting are being published on the Great Collaboration wiki, here.  The next planned sessions are:

• August 14th – Carbon Literacy Project with Abby Charlesworth
•  August 21st – Practical Approaches to Biodiversity and Net Zero with Ed Gemmell
• August 28th – Hay Community Resilience Initiative with Mike Eccles
• September 4th – Biosphere Reserves with Chris McFarling

The sessions are open to all, so please do not hesitate to pass these details on to any (particularly councillors or community activists) that you feel would be interested.
