CLASH is Cornwall’s climate and sustainability hive hosted by Cultivator.

CLASH Action Fortnight

With COP26 held in the UK in November 2021, it seems that the debate around climate change has shifted – no longer is it a question of whether we need to act, but what are the priorities for action and how quickly? As doughnut economist Kate Raworth stated ‘if you aren’t designing for our planet, what planet are you on’?

Sustainability Planning for Creatives

A focussed workshop to guide creative businesses in writing environmental and gender & equality statements

1. To collide with a loud noise
2.a. To meet in conflict: b. To be in opposition or disagreement
3. To create a distinctive visual impression when placed together

Together we are building a collective creative sector mindset to address the climate emergency and support businesses in growing a circular economy. As we rebuild from the Corona crisis, we have the opportunity to do business differently and to put sustainable development principles at the heart of what we do. This won’t be easy. We will undoubtedly disagree on the detail. CLASH will provide the space and inspiration for debate and will amplify voices seeking change.

Cultivator is providing the resources to nurture CLASH in its early stages. Creative businesses can participate in a series of events, skills development workshops, campaigns and discussions organised by the team to respond to the needs and interests of the sector. We also welcome CLASH takeovers by groups and organisations. Our aim is that CLASH will become a movement owned by creative practitioners and businesses that will ensure climate emergency and sustainability issues are at the forefront of debate and creative sector development in Cornwall.
