2040 Film Screening and Workshop
Glasgow Community Food Network's Food and Climate Action project presents a screening of the award-winning Australian documentary 2040.
About 2040 Film Screening and Workshop
As part of our Food & Climate Action Project, we are putting on a series of Food & Climate films in partnership with Take One Action film clubs!
Join us for the third of four free film screenings and workshops. We are showing the award-winning Australian documentary 2040. Join us for an uplifting and hopeful journey into the future!
"Concerned about his young daughter’s future, filmmaker Damon Gameau travels the world in search of new approaches and solutions to climate change. He meets with innovators and changemakers in many fields to draw on their expertise.
A story of hope that looks at the very real possibility that humanity could reverse global warming and improve the lives of every living thing in the process."
Film will start at 17.00, please arrive and be seated before this time. Feel free to bring your own food and drink!
There will be an audience discussion after the film.
There is also an accompanying interactive workshop on soil and composting immediately after the film. Please join us for this!
Workshop:
Get your hands dirty with a short 1.5 hour workshop where we you will learn about composting, our soil and how to build and care for a wormery.
The workshop is accompanying the film screening 2040 which is happening at the same venue just before! Please book onto the film screening as well, here.
Did you know that the soil that we walk on and that we grow our food in is not just rocks and dirt, but a whole ecosystem? Soil is alive, it's home to billions of micro organisms, invertebrates and other animals. The health of the soil is key to a healthy climate and a healthy food system.
Together we'll make mini wormeries and outline other practical steps anyone can take for the soil! You'll then get to take a wormery home with you.
We will be sharing seeds and seedlings too, so please bring some along to swap with others.
This workshop will be led by Jenny and Cara who are Community Activators from Glasgow Community Food Network's Food & Climate Action Project.
