Netwalking for Changemakers

FAQs

• Who should attend?

  Thrivable Scotland Netwalks are for anyone working for social and environmental change interested in exploring new ways forward in a world where climate change is accelerating, natural systems are collapsing and society seems to be heading for breakdown.

  People who find our netwalks particularly valuable include:

  • Sustainability and environment practitioners - those working in conservation, sustainability, renewable energy or land use.

  • Third sector and social enterprise leaders - charity staff, founders and funders working for positive change.

  • Purpose-led business and organisational leaders - entrepreneurs, sustainability leads and change practitioners seeking new ideas and connections.

  • Community changemakers - people involved in local climate action, food networks, community development or neighbourhood projects.

  • Public sector professionals - officers, planners, civil servants or elected members shaping places and policy.

• What should I expect?

  Our netwalks are lightly facilitated with a mix of walking and talking in pairs, and standing and talking as a group. We will be walking much of the time we are together.

  ​We'll cover around 2 miles walking on paved paths in this city centre park.

  Please check the weather forecast and wear suitable footwear and outdoor clothing.

  If you have any mobility concerns, please contact us in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you.

• Can I bring my dog?

  Well behaved dogs on the lead are welcome. Please be mindful that some people in the group may not be comfortable with dogs close by them.

• What if it's bad weather?

  There's not such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing!

  We are unlikely to cancel the event unless there is an official weather warning. We will however adjust the route if necessary and perhaps adjourn to a cafe.

• Are there toilet facilities?

  There are public toilets near the play park at the east end of the Meadows, and also at the south end of Middle Meadow Walk.

• Photography and audio recording

  We may take some photos and record audio of some of the group conversations. These may be used in the Thrivable Scotland podcast, newsletter and social media. Let us know at the time if you don't want to be included.
