A whale of a time was had in Buckie earlier this month!

Sea Change Embedded Artist Gabby Morris brought Hope, the inflatable whale, to Buckie's Fisherman's Hall. Participants were invited to explore the internal anatomy of humpback whales, learning about how they breathe and their feeding habits. They also explored the dangers of plastic pollution in the ocean, and the impact of human activity on whale wellbeing.

As well as exploring the inside of a whale, the day included a range of creative activities and stalls to encourage thinking about whales. This event was kindly supported by the Scottish Whale and Dolphin Centre. Thank you to Alexander Williamson for taking these pictures.

Join us in Cardowan on 8 August for a parade and picnic!

We're walking along part the path between Cardowan and Glasgow to highlight the difference a proper path would make to this area, and the power of getting around on foot or wheels.

This will be a family-friendly, fun parade with live carnival music and creative work made by local people and Frank McElhinney. We'll finish the parade with a picnic at the Happy Hub - food and drinks will be provided!

In the run-up to the parade, we'll be making decorations and props at the Happy Hub every Thursday from 12pm-3pm. Everybody is welcome at these creative sessions.

For more information, head to our website: https://cultureforclimate.scot/event/pathfinders-parade-and-picnic/

How can rural creative organisations embed sustainable travel into their work culture?

In our latest case study, Sana Azeem explores how Dance North Scotland have achieved just that. Recording zero domestic flights last year, Dance North Scotland have demonstrated how good organisational culture, flexibility and genuine care enables staff to travel sustainably, lowering emissions.

Built on conversations with Executive Director Liz Egan, this case study provides readers with a foundational understanding of how sustainable travel can be made possible for rural organisations.
