Event write-up and resources
27 local campaigners joined 5 Friends of the Earth campaigns and activism staff in Plymouth and Bristol earlier this year to:
- develop our campaigning skills & knowledge
- learn more about the latest Friends of the Earth campaigns
- share ideas and inspiration with others taking action locally and regionally
Campaign and skills-sharing topics ranged from energy prices, the bix six energy companies and solutions for green home-grown energy supplies during sessions on our Final Demand campaign, to how can we communicate environmental campaign messages effectively; from campaigning on marine issues during the Open Space discussions to campaigning on major infrastructure projects like nuclear and biofuels.
