Roots & Branches: Carbon Literacy and Climate Action Programme
Roots & Branches is an award-winning, environmentally-driven collaborative project between Museum Development England(MDE), The Carbon Literacy Project and Manchester Museum. From Autumn 2021 to March 2024 the project, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, saw 1411 people trained using the Carbon Literacy for Museums Toolkit and participants were given additional opportunities to converse, experiment, and test new ideas for sustainable practice in museums.
Managed by Museum Development North (MD North), MDE are continuing the project for another two years with a programme launching in June 2024 and continuing until March 2026. The Roots & Branches online programme includes:
Carbon Literacy courses: Information and booking links
Trainer Support Sessions: Information and booking links
Seeds for Action Connect & Co-Work sessions: Information and booking links
Seeds for Action In Focus sessions: Information and booking links
Seeds for Action Case Studies
The Programme will help to shape an environmentally aware and active sector, giving museums the tools to respond to ‘Let’s Create’, Art Council England’s 10-year strategy in which environmental responsibility is at the core.
