Loving Earth project goes to COP26
‘It would be great to have a wide range of beloved and sacred places around the world represented in the Loving Earth Project.’
The Quaker Arts Network (QAN) is planning to take its travelling exhibition of the Loving Earth project to the twenty-sixth UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow in November.
Linda Murgatroyd, convenor of QAN, told the Friend that the network is working with other groups preparing for COP26, and also seeking funds for the exhibition and outreach costs. ‘It would be great to have a wide range of beloved and sacred places around the world represented in the Loving Earth Project,’ she told the Friend. ‘This will remind people of what is at stake both in the decisions taken at COP26 and by all of us, day by day. The project also provides opportunities to publicise positive initiatives and actions, to inspire others and would love to include more community and organisational initiatives as well as personal actions.’
The Loving Earth project has been developing in several different directions, she said. ‘A number of smaller exhibitions are being planned in the coming months, the first one is in the windows of the Open Door community centre in Edinburgh.
New videos about the project have also been made, featuring some of the panel makers and comments on the issues raised; supporters of the project are encouraged to share these on social media.’ These and other materials are available on the resources page of the Loving Earth project’s website, and a resource for use with younger people and all-age groups is also being developed. A number of online events are planned over the next few months, in addition to those advertised on the website. Some groups are also setting up their own events.
