Join us for a unique writing workshop led by Paperboats writer, poet and creative writing tutor Chris Powici, at the Social Hub Glasgow on Tuesday 19th November 2024, as we unearth the stories you want tell for the future of your local spaces.

The event will take place from 5:30pm and will include a unique writing workshop led by Paperboats writer, poet and creative writing tutor Chris Powici. The workshop will connect you to what rewilding means to you and how can your community work together make that future a reality.

Attendees will have the opportunity to write a letter at the end of the workshop, which they can share with politicians and other decision-makers.

Prior to the workshop, you are invited to:

  • Watch the film Why Not Scotland? which is available on YouTube until the end of November: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFypWj1bjPk
  • Take a walk or several walks, around your local area and think about how rewilding could work for your community.

Places are limited so please book your spot. The event is free-to-attend – we just ask you to let us know if you can’t make it so we can offer the place to someone else.

About Rewilding Nation

The Rewilding Nation Charter campaign urges the Scottish government to commit to nature recovery across 30% of our land and seas. Scotland now ranks as one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth. Rewilding offers the chance for Scotland to restore the health of the natural world we depend on. But what does rewilding mean for local communities and how can we ensure it works for everyone?

About the Paperboats workshops

The inspiring and uplifting ‘Letters to the Earth’ workshop aims to get people talking about their concerns around the nature crisis, and to discuss positive solutions that offer hope for change.

Participants are invited to explore and discuss their experiences and feelings around climate and nature, through a series of open questions. They are then invited to share these insights in a letter to their political representatives.

About Why Not Scotland?

The film accompanies Flo, a young Scot from Glasgow who is concerned about the state of nature in her home country. She embarks on a journey around Europe, to discover stories of nature’s comeback, and the people benefiting from it.
