About Half Term: Collective Climate Action
This half term we will be home to Planetopia, a place to inspire collective climate action.
Meet climate impact advocates, get creative, and learn more about what the museum is doing for climate action.
There will be an interactive opportunity for you to create your own climate pledge – a fun and engaging way to think about this serious global issue. Be inspired to consider what changes you could make to reduce your climate impact and how you can become an advocate for climate action.
The quilts created across the country as part of our Sewing Hope: Quilts for Climate Change project will also be on display. Made from quilt squares created by school pupils and families across Scotland, these quilts share people’s hopes for the future of our planet.
"To get things moving, you need to find a place to start. Do not be afraid of starting small. Change always starts with a first step."
Museum of Communication Switzerland, creators of Planetopia.
