FEASTING WITH WEEDS

VENUE: THE PLAYTRAIL OUTDOOR CLASSROOM & FOREST

Join foraging guide Clare McQuillan of Feasting on Weeds on a wild food discovery at the Playtrail. Clare will take you on a gentle, observational walk of the area to learn about the plants, fruits and other delights of summer and show you how to use them in your own kitchen. The walk will conclude with a foraged treat from Clare's kitchen inspired by what can be found at the location.

ARTITUDE CLIMATE FESTIVAL

A free three day community-led celebration of art, climate action and the circular economy.

Showcasing creative, community-led responses to the climate emergency, the festival is delivered in collaboration with The Gathering, Zero Waste North West (ZWNW), Northern Ireland Resources Network (NIRN), Environmental Justice Network Ireland (EJNI) and Making Relatives - a visit of water and land protectors from Ojibwe Nation, US.

Emerging from The Playhouse's Artitude: Climate, Culture and Circularity project, the festival is part of a unique and transformational programme of activity, using the arts and creative practice to engage communities in the DCSDC area in exploring climate action and the circular economy, with a view to encouraging positive behavioural change.

The Playhouse works with partners Zero Waste North West, Northern Ireland Resources Network, Queens University and Derry City and Strabane District Council to use the arts to co-ordinate and deliver the 18 month programme.
