Free Invitation to “Brent Students Conference on Climate Change” 20 March 2013
Brent
Council, in conjunction with the College of North West London, and
Brent Campaign against Climate Change are organising a conference open
to all students in Years 11–13 and Further Education. The conference
will be held at the Dudden Hill Campus of the College of North West
London, Dudden Hill Lane, NW10 2XD.
I hope you have already received the Climate Change invitation letter, sent by post on 13 December.
The
aim of the conference is to increase awareness of climate change and
discuss ways to lessen and adapt to its effects. To encourage the
engagement and participation of the young people, the conference will hold a number of environmental activities.
The
event will also provide information and advice on relevant courses in
Further and in Higher Education and careers in related industries.
The conference will run from 10.00 am – 3.45 pm and be divided into three sessions:
Morning Session: The Issues of Climate Change
Short introductory talks and Q/A with a panel of speakers.
Lunch Session: Courses and Careers
A tour of the college’s Industry Week displays and an opportunity to talk to employers and admissions tutors.
Afternoon Session: Tackling Climate Change
Supervised
workshops exploring how students can help reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and mitigate climate change in their schools & colleges,
or through participation in community and campaign groups.
Free lunch and refreshments will be provided.
I
would be grateful if you could bring the details of this letter to the
attention of your staff/students and encourage them to attend the
conference. Teachers wishing to bring a group should express an interest
by e-mailing environment@brent.gov.uk by Friday 8 February 2013, with an indication of likely numbers.
We would be happy to answer any further queries you may have, please call 020 8937 5564.
Alternatively a team member accompanied by a Councillor can visit your
school to discuss the conference. We will be contacting you in due
course to see if you would like to arrange for a visit, either to meet
with staff or talk to groups of students.
Yours sincerely,
Davide Pascarella
Environmental Projects & Policy Officer
