BEAT is arranging a public meeting every month to inform our community on various issues around sustainability - environmentally, socially and economically - with the purpose to create a more sustainable and resilient community.In particular we want to create more of our food and energy locally. The public meetings - along with our newsletter, website, etc - create awareness and participation in the community.Our newsletter is produced every two months.

Our public meetings and newsletter informs the community about BEAT's work and how everyone can be involved. They also raise awareness about climate change and sustainability issues, including nature conservation.
