Re: the Aims of the Day

"Climate Change: it's time to prepare" is a space for you to come and meet, listen and talk and think and (we hope) plan.

The day is designed so that :

a) you'll learn information that makes you (more) determined to get active on the subject of climate change.  
Whether you do that on your own or (as we'd recommend) with one of the many many groups already active  in Manchester is your business, not ours.

b) you'll meet people who live near you, work near you, think like you, think the opposite to you, and swap contact details with them
but that last bit is up to you.  Nobody will be running around with a clipboard creating a database. There are quite enough of those already.

c) you'll have a chance to ask questions, make comments and get answers and responses (while allowing others enough time for the same), without anyone trying to sell you a newspaper or get your bank details

So, there's no final plenary where the experts tell you to what to think or what to do.  If you've participated in the day, your head will already be over-full of ideas about what to do.  

d) er, that's it...
