Glasgow Science Centre’s online science festival about climate change will take place 29 September - 1 October and everyone aged seven and upwards is invited.
Curious About Our Planet will help people uncover the impact of climate change and discover how they can contribute to a more sustainable planet.
The festival is a three-day extravaganza of environment-themed live and interactive talks, exhibitions, hands on activities and more.
Glasgow Science Centre’s team has designed the festival as an introduction to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), which is happening in the city in November.
There will be live, interactive sessions on “What is COP26” and a chance to chat with big employers on what the green jobs of the future might be, and how to get one.
Experts in seabirds and offshore energy will also answer questions, share tips and explain how people can get involved.
The festival is free and open to everyone, just register on https://curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org/.
Stephen Breslin, chief executive of Glasgow Science Centre, said: “Curious About Our Planet will entertain and inspire everyone aged seven and upwards.
“Climate change, and how we tackle it, is at the forefront of everyone’s minds in the run up to COP26.
“Our online festival will help introduce people to some of the issues at stake in a friendly, accessible way. It will also help them understand the big, or small, changes they could make to help tackle these.
“We want to inspire people in Glasgow and across the UK to get excited about COP26 and understand their role in improving our planet’s future.”
Curious About Our Planet is free to everyone. Find out more and register for updates at https://curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org/.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
