Copenhagen Debrief

Venue: Cafe at 22aJesus Lane (Transition Cambridge)

With Emilia Melville

Meeting to discuss Copenhagen outcome and where to go from now.

Say it with music with Helen Odell-Miller

Venue: Music Therapy Clinic, Anglia Ruskin University.

Express your post-Copenhagen feelings through music. Music can help us access thoughts and feelings that are hard to put into words.  The workshop will use a variety of instruments, voice and listening and you do not need any musical skill to participate. 

Helen Odell-Miller is a music therapist and Professor of Music Therapy at Anglia Ruskin University.

This event is free with a suggested contribution of £2-£3 towards costs.  BOOKING is ESSENTIAL as places are strictly limited.  Please email sally@cambridgecarbonfootprint.org or telephone 01223 971353.

Communication workshop: Brick walls and Brickbats with Penny Henderson.

Venue: St. Lukes  Church Centre, Victoria Road, CB4 3ED. Cost: Event is free (as training) to all CCF volunteers; other individuals £5, organisations £10.

This session will play with some ways to respond when colleagues, family or friends treat you as a spoilsport because of your commitment to climate change.  We will explore creative responses to lighten the situation and leave you and them feeling better.
Penny Henderson is a group work and organisational consultant who specialises in communicating well at work and helping people say ‘difficult things’
