FEEDBACK ON THE SECOND CREATIVE CLIMATE LEADERSHIP TRAINING SESSION

From October 8-14, 2017 in Ankaran, Slovenia, the Creative Climate Leadership network of which COAL is a member held its second leadership training session on cultural and environmental projects. 23 participants from Europe, Indonesia, Australia and South America, selected from an international call for applications, met for a week of exchange and learning.

The five-day intensive training allowed artists and cultural professionals to explore the cultural dimensions of climate change and to acquire many tools to be able to lead actions with impact, creativity and resilience.

Alternating between physical exercises, theoretical lectures, practical work in groups and debates, the training was structured around the following points
– The role of culture and creativity in the fight against climate change and environmental challenges;
– Environmental leadership and the opportunity for everyone to carry out cultural actions with a positive environmental impact;
– Accompanying each person in the development of their ideas and the implementation of their cultural and environmental project;
– The transmission of experiences, knowledge and skills between participants and within the circle of each one.

The collective and personal reflections were punctuated by interventions of cultural professionals working on environmental issues:
– Ivan Petrovic, President of the Management Team at the EXIT Foundation
– Alison Tickell, Director of Julie’s Bicycle
– Jurij Krpan, Artistic Director of the Kapelica Gallery

Beyond a training on the environmental issues of culture and environmental leadership, the training is above all a human experience of exchange of experiences, knowledge sharing, creativity, open-mindedness and solidarity.

Creative Climate Leadership brings together eight European partners representing a wide geographical area, a variety of artistic specialties and different approaches to encourage environmental action in the European creative sector: Julie’s Bicycle, Ars Baltica, COAL, EXIT Foundation, KRUG, mitos21, On The Move and PiNA.
