About Event
Join us for our final Climate Mingle of 2025!
We’ll be gathering at the brilliant community space Jabulani to explore how architecture, creativity and community spirit can come together to tackle climate challenges.
We’re excited to welcome Studio Skein, an employee-owned architects’ co-op who’ll be sharing the story behind their circular design project with Jabulani, where they flipped the usual process on its head and started with the materials they had, not the ones they wished for. Expect insights into how they work collaboratively with Jabulani, reused waste in clever ways and what’s next for scaling this kind of work.
We’ll also hear from Jabo, the driving force behind Jabulani, about the next phase of the project – Jabulani 2.0. While we won’t be doing a full tour (thanks, November weather!), there’ll be plans, visuals and a materials wish list to explore, plus a big ideas board where you can share what you’d love to see in Plymouth’s climate future.
And of course, we couldn’t visit Jabulani without asking them to serve up some beautiful African cuisine to keep us fuelled while we chat, connect and get inspired.
Come along for a relaxed evening of good food, great people and big ideas.
