Off the Leash Podcasts is proud to publish a series of shortcasts supporting the Emily Williamson Festival. Emily was a co-founder of the RSPB and an eco-activist before the term was even invented. Taking inspiration from her legacy, modern day change-makers will be exploring the links between Conservation, Campaigning, Science and Art in a weekend of events at Manchester Art Gallery between the 12th and 13th of November.
In this shortcast, Chloe Jeffries from Climate Emergency Manchester tells us about how Emily's legacy continues in the work the group does locally to tackle the climate crisis.
She discusses how different skills can be valuable in campaigning and activism, and talks about the group's Active Citizenship Toolkit which breaks down how to engage with these issues and how we can all contribute in an impactful way.
