Devonport Futures is an innovative skills programme linked to the 200th anniversary of the founding of Devonport.
A joint project between Real Ideas Organisation, Plymouth Community Homes, Devon Chamber of Commerce and the National Trust, and funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Devonport Futures focuses on nurturing blue-green and immersive digital skills, addressing the growing demand in the createch industries, and implementing net carbon zero retrofit projects on buildings.
Additionally, the programme aims to connect communities to nature, reflecting the city's commitment to inclusive economic growth, combating the climate emergency and celebrating Devonport's maritime history.
The Green Communities team is working alongside Real Ideas and Plymouth Community Homes to support the following events. Email elliott.lang@plymouth.gov.uk to find out more.
