Your Green Future

Your Green Future was an interactive event which engaged school students with a low carbon economy, and their potential role in creating this through their career choices. This was a joint venture between Rotary clubs of Bristol and South Glos  and South Glos Council.

Each event saw hundreds of 12 to 18 year olds work with businesses in a series of creative workshops which investigate the changing face of business, from local sustainable business models to cutting edge technologies.

The project emerged from the background challenges of youth unemployment, skill shortages and, the need to develop low carbon, resilient communities. 

Overall, Your Green Future will support the local community becoming a sustainable, low carbon economic environment in which businesses flourish, communities thrive and individuals have the opportunity to reach their potential.
