Join ecobirmingham to inspire the future generation of little David Attenboroughs. Explore the natural world through the power of stories and creative nature crafts.
Stories 4 Nature sessions create moments for children and their grown-ups to connect with the natural world, inspiring continuity in exploring green spaces, reliving the stories together and, in the future, valuing these spaces where positive memories were built.

Culture Shift with Theatre Green Book
The Culture Shift Symposium is now in its fourth year, and this year will be hosted by the Theatre Green Book team.
Join us for a short day of talks and discussions for and by arts industry professionals on the subject of environmental sustainability. This year, we will be engaging with three topics which regularly come up in conversations on sustainability: communications, touring and procurement. We will then finish the day with a ReStage Script Session to hear from the ReStage team about their recent report into reuse for the screen and stage sector within the UK, followed by a discussion on what is already going on around reuse in the West Midlands, and how you can be part of this UK-wide network. Please bring your ideas, questions and examples!
