Nature Studio: Connect and Create Melbourne - Citizen COP 2026

Nature Studio: Connect, Create & Explore Take some time to slow down, connect with nature and get creative. Drop into our Nature Studio at any time during this relaxed, drop-in session and explore biodiversity through drawing, journalling, sun-printing and other simple creative activities. No artistic experience is needed, and all materials are provided. Come along, get creative and discover biodiversity from a different perspective. This is a public session by the City of Melbourne. For any questions or support, please contact: [email protected] About Citizen COP Australia Citizen COP Australia is a decentralised, people-powered movement running alongside the global COPs in 2026. Enabled by People For Nature, but intentionally independent and distributed, Citizen COP invites communities, organisations, schools, businesses, artists, and local groups across Australia to host their own events during the COP period. Rather than a single central event, Citizen COP is a nationwide network of conversations, workshops, and actions that bring global climate and nature discussions into local communities. It connects people to science, solutions, and each other, strengthening civic engagement and ensuring citizen voices contribute to Australia’s climate and nature conversations. https://www.peoplefornature.org.au/citizen-cop About People For Nature People For Nature is a volunteer-powered environmental charity empowering communities through climate and biodiversity education, citizen conservation, and science. We believe that when Australians understand and connect with nature, they’re more likely to protect it — safeguarding our climate, ecosystems, and well-being.
