Good bye folks! Like many like-minded organisations we've stopped actively using X. We're transitioning over to using Bluesky - see you there? @howdec.bsky.social

Last month, students from across the Highlands and Moray met in Inverness for #MockCOP29, a mock conference empowering young people to tackle climate issues. With partners @HOWDEC and @DYWICH, we share our thoughts on its importance. #OUScotlandFestiveCrackers

Today's #Art4Action for #MockCOP is from @CullodenAcad. S4 pupils took inspiration from nature and crafted impactful slogans to create these beautiful #craftivism banners using recycled or donated material.

Today's #ArtforAction for #COP29 is brilliant work from P6/7 class at #MunlochyPrimary. Pupils did a huge amount of learning around the climate crisis to create these works, including accompanying videos like this one youtu.be/Cc38Kiap19I Check it out!

Today's #Art4Action for #COP29 is from @MuirtownP P7 pupils. Huge amounts of work went into these posters covering every aspect of the climate crisis & the changes children wanted, explained in more depth in accompanying videos. Can't wait to get these shared in an online gallery

Today's #Art4Action for #COP29 is by pupils at Speyside High. At this week's #MockCOP they helped young people make Inukshuk figures from stones from their local area. We need to HEAR from indigenous voices, LEARN from them & SUPPORT those who've contributed least to the crisis.

Great to have delivered this course to fab ELC practitioners across Aberdeenshire during the inservice today. We're doing it again as a twilight on Nov 25th for ELC folk & P1 teachers in #Aberdeen, #Aberdeenshire, #Orkney and #Shetland. Do join us! shorturl.at/zIfIi

Today's #Art4Action for #COP29 is from @DingwallAcademy. 40 S1 pupils shared their hopes for the future in this fantastic 3D piece currently on display at @HighlandCouncil Chambers. We've had over 500 children & young people from 17 Highland schools sharing their views so far.

Delighted to have received this photo from one of our local councillors this afternoon. Councillor Alex Graham spotted some of our children's artwork on display for the Mock COP event in @HighlandCouncil foyer. Some great works of art with clear messages! @HOWDEC

Each day of #COP29 we'll showcase fantastic #Art4Action created by children & young people across Highland, making their views on climate heard. This is @FortroseAcad "Blowing in the Wind". We need to take individual & global responsibility - the answers are already out there...
