Playing our full part in Manchester and taking it on the road

Watch: The Manchester story and what difference C-Change has made
Sharing its approach with other European cities through C-Change helped Manchester take its cultural collaboration on climate action and engagement to a whole new level.
“C-Change was to become our biggest production yet, involving many players. From the beginning we understood the value this model could bring to other cities. What we hadn’t understood was how much we would gain, strengthening city and sector collaboration, more closely aligning culture and climate change policy and programmes and framing MAST’s zero carbon culture work.”
