Trade tensions are straining supply chains, the cost of living keeps rising, and record summer heat is a stark reminder that the climate crisis isn’t waiting.
A circular economy, one that keeps resources in use for longer, is part of the solution, and it’s within our reach. #CEweek2026 is our chance to connect and mobilise for a resilient future for everyone.
Join us for an afternoon of participatory workshops to explore circularity together. Our workshops are open to everyone, from professionals to curious newcomers.
No slides or lectures. Just cards, conversation run by experienced facilitators, and collective sense-making.

Circular Economy Collage — the anchor workshop of the day: a systemic, big-picture look at what a circular economy actually means and how the pieces fit together.
Textiles Untangled — unpack the environmental and social footprint of fashion and textiles, and explore what circularity looks like for the clothes we wear.
Digital Collage — trace the hidden footprint of our devices and digital habits, from e-waste to data centres, and where circular thinking can intervene.
