Rooted in Words Book Club and Climate Café 

Rooted in Words is a book club centred around sustainability, climate change and climate justice, enabling us to grow our learning and make a difference. Every other month, we'll read a book with a different view on green narratives- these sessions will be a meeting point to discuss thoughts in a relaxed and kind environment. The session will also act as a climate café, opening room for a judgement free discussion around sustainability in our day to day lives, and within our Museum environment. 

Join us for discussion, to listen and/or for hot drinks and cake in our Museum and Art Gallery café. No need to participate, all are welcome to come along and listen without pressure of joining in. Rooted in Words will take place on the first Wednesday of every other month at 2pm- check the schedule for exact dates and to sign up.
