Love our Tyne and Sustainable Haltwhistle present:

Rivers of Hope: The Workshop

A 2 hour professional workshop exploring the notion of rights for the River Tyne. Delivered by the River Rights Network

Guided river walk and story collection

The event will take place at Haltwhistle Community Hub on Wed 17 June. It is a free event but booking is essential. Bookings can be made here https://shorturl.at/ezPyK

The agenda for the event is as follows:

10am Welcome and refreshments

12.30pm Lunch

1pm Guided river walk and story collection

4pm Close

Refreshments will be provided on arrival. Lunch is not provided. Haltwhistle has a number of cafes and the room will be available for packed lunches

The aim of workshop is to explore the development of a Rights of Nature approach for the River Tyne. By the end of the workshop participants will:

Have a raised awareness of the concept of Rights of Rivers and its relevance to the River Tyne

Be inspired by practical examples in other areas

Have a greater sense of connection with the river

Be able to begin assessing the feasibility of developing a Rights of Rivers approach for the River Tyne

The optional guided walk in the afternoon will take place alongside the South Tyne and Haltwhistle Burn from 1pm to 3:30pm (maximum 5km) to explore further why we think rivers need rights.

We will be on public footpaths, rights of ways and pavements. We hope to exchange ideas, challenges and solutions together as we explore the river habitat. This is not a formal guided walk and people are invited to join us at their own risk.See lessCommentsNo comments yetBe the first to comment.
