Lifelong Learning will be holding a one-day cultural event on Saturday 12 April, consisting of a series of short talks led by experts from Southampton.
This thought provoking and inspiring conference will provide you with the opportunity to learn and engage in discussion about climate change and its social and historical impacts from academics of international distinction.
Talks during the day will explore climatic and environmental change throughout human evolution, in particular the period between 130,000 and 11,500 years ago, how changing weather patterns during the Middle Ages impacted society, and how Tewkesbury has developed and thrived in spite of flooding, from its Saxon origins and during the Medieval period. We will also address the science of climate change, global warming and greenhouse gas emissions and discuss what we can do about it for the future.
All are welcome – discounts available for staff and students. Refreshments and buffet lunch included.
