17:00-19:00

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Climate Conversations and Cake is a monthly session for UWE students to come together, meet like-minded students and hear inspiring stories. This month we'll be watching North of The Sun!

Join us to hear how Inge Wegge and Jørn Ranum spent nine months of a cold, Norwegian winter in the isolated and uninhabited bay of a remote, arctic island by the coast of Northern-Norway. There they built a cabin out of driftwood and other cast-off materials that washed up on shore, and ate expired food the stores would otherwise have thrown away. But the boys brought with them two items of utmost importance: their surfboards – perhaps their biggest motivation for the arctic adventure. Because the remote bay holds a well kept secret– some of the worlds finest surfing waves.

Sessions will involve guided discussion, opportunities to share thoughts and feelings and hear from experts and guests.

There will also be free vegan food and refreshments.

HOW TO SIGN UP:

Just turn up on the day!
