Sewing2gether All Nations:Caring, Creating, Connecting is a refugee assisting community organisation, providing creative workshops and upcycling donated textiles. Sewing2gether All Nations specialises in textile upcycling using unwanted or discarded fabric, saving it, transforming it, giving it a renewed purpose and uncovering the value that was there all along, taking something that was labelled as damaged goods, rubbish, useless, unwanted, unloved and hopeless, and giving it a new lease of life with all it's amazing flaws! Film Access Scotland invited people to make 90-second films to share their thoughts and ideas about climate change and how it is affecting us as individuals, our surroundings, families and communities. Climate Challenge: 1.5 Degrees Films  is set against the background of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP-26)  taking place in Glasgow from 31st October to 12th November 2021. The Challenge is led by Film Access Scotland and supported by the National Lottery through  Screen Scotland  and  by  Keep Scotland Beautiful. We thank Braw Talent for the training and support we received to make this film. Music by LesFm on Pixabay Circular News Article used with permission www.sewing2getherallnations.com
In September was the Climate Fringe Festival 2022, and thanks to our Renfrewshire Community Climate Funding we had in-house Make do & Mend sessions, bringing our damaged or poorly fitting clothing to workshops for skills training. A further grant from Stop Climate Chaos Scotland gave us the opportunity to buy equipment to film and edit several quick fix sewing tutorials, encouraging repair of clothing that may otherwise be discarded.
