These sessions will be scheduled flexibly to accommodate both coach and participant availability.

Lunch will be provided both days.

What to Expect

Both events will engage participants in insightful workshops and help shape impactful action projects. Experienced practitioners and speakers will be in attendance, sharing their knowledge and experience.

By the end of the first day, participants will have a clear understanding of the environmental status and climate challenges facing the Boyne area. They will leave feeling empowered by the connections formed and inspired by the guest speakers.

Over the following two months, participants will design and implement action projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions and revitalising climate action in the region. Mentoring and support will be provided throughout this period.

Our final meeting on September 13th will mark the deadline for project completion. We will come together to share what we’ve learned and celebrate what we’ve accomplished.
