Designed for Cornwall

Running through to January 2026, the programme blends advanced technology, real-world learning and expert-led training to help participants build resilience during this prolonged period of flood warnings.

The course was developed by Truro’s Luci Isaacson BEM MSc, who has over 25 years of environmental leadership experience. It was originally piloted through a Defra Pathfinder project.

What the Course Includes

In just 8–12 hours, attendees of any level gain insights into flood protection and other risks. They hear from experts from Mission Control, Exeter University and Cornwall Council, all delivered in an engaging and accessible format.

The course features:

• Workshops and a graduation event at Cornwall’s Climate Change Centre

• A screening of the Aardman Animations film

• Past Cornish climate stories with augmented reality

• Real-world future scenarios at a Cornish hotspot

• Access to a grant system for flood protection products

• A private 1:1 flood risk snapshot

Who Can Take Part?

The course is open to all, from newcomers to seasoned professionals. Thanks to support from regional partners and Cornwall Council’s Culture and Creative Industries Innovation Fund, funded places are available for:

• Cornwall-based individuals

• Educators

• People at flood risk

• Those looking to upskill for jobs in renewables and nature-based solutions

• Businesses looking to prepare for hazards and opportunities in an ever-changing climate
