For the first time, the FPAC meeting was a hybrid event, with nearly 100 people in the room to hear the excellent speakers and presentations, and a further 50 people listening online via Zoom. Two of the presentations were given by people on the Zoom call.
The technology was a bit sketchy, but improved as we got used to it. Lessons were certainly learned in the event that hybrid meetings become a regular event in future.
This is Kay Richmond’s final chairing of the FPAC meeting as Programme Director, and she presented a packed programme, all about Climate Change. The agenda was divided into Clusters – Asia, Caribbean and Europe – each of which had presentations by several Clubs on the work that they are doing, which covered every aspect of “Reduce, Repair, Reuse, Recycle”. All the presentations are available to view below.
