Virtual Ecologies is an intergenerational learning project which aims to unlock local ecological knowledge, through free critical and creative response workshops, hands-on outdoor gatherings, skills development opportunities and unique experiences with artist-educators and natural scientists, for people of all ages across East Yorkshire.
