Join the Green Futures Network

Receive the latest updates, events, resources and opportunities from across the network, and help shape the challenges we come together to address

Criteria:

All organisations are welcome to join the Green Futures Network, from community groups and local councils to businesses, institutions, and charities.

Some of our focus will be on specific geographic areas, such as the South West of England, or the UK, but much is relevant across the world, so members are welcome from anywhere.

Members are welcome to be as active as they want to be within the network. Some may choose to simply receive information and resources, and some may have the capacity to be more involved. This could include organising events, shaping the network strategy, or co-creating new collaborative projects.

Benefits:

Joining the network is obligation-free. Members will have access to the following benefits:

  • Newsletters (roughly every three months) with updates on the latest events, research, resources, and opportunities.
  • Occasional briefing papers, summarising useful recent developments in policy or research.
  • Opportunities to contribute to the strategic direction of the network, including the chance to join the Green Futures Network Steering Group.
  • Share your events and opportunities to the rest of the network, through the website and newsletter.
  • Advance notice of network events.

Communities of Practice

The Green Futures Network is made up of many smaller networks, some of which form as Communities of Practice. These are learning networks, where organisations come together to collectively explore a common challenge.

The number and type of Communities of Practices changes over time, as some are fixed-term while others are ongoing. To see the latest options to join please use the drop down menu at the top of the page, under Membership.

If you would like to join any of the Communities of Practice, or to recommend the forming of a new one, please contact Peter at gfn@exeter.ac.uk.

The Only-Imagined Future by Hannah Mumby

This image communicates the Community of Practice model as a group embarking on a process and co-producing something together, with a sense of not knowing where the journey will lead, or what the end will be (if there is to be an end at all). In this uncertainty there is a strong importance of sharing space with each other in safety.

The illustration shows a group of mountaineers traversing a mountain or glacier – the one at the front (or as far as we can see), going over the edge into an unknown landscape beyond. The mountaineers are joined together by a red rope, to keep them safe.
