SUMMARY:#talkingclimate: A toolkit for more effective conversations

So join us for a two hour workshop to build up a practical toolkit\, based on Climate Outreach research\, to practise talking about climate change with your friends\, family and colleagues. \nAge restrictions: 16+ \nPlease book through this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/talkingclimate-a-toolkit-for-more-effective-conversations-tickets-1519693005689
