Over the last 8 weeks, 2 local Sustainable Crediton members have been part of a University of Exeter research project and climate response leadership building project by Art & Energy CIC. "EcoAnxiety, Art & Agency" brought regional artists and activists together for a weekly programme, which will have one more culminating event in July.

The programme explored both the emotional landscape of work in response to the climate emergency and the impact of art-making on wellbeing for practitioners, also strategies for engaging others in behaviour change. Both of our local members also led the content of the programme in dedicated sessions. Four participants were invited to the local Nature Strategy Partnership conference.

We look forward to hearing more about the outcomes of this project.
