Granted the European ‘Green Capital’ Award in 2015, the southwestern city of Bristol has a rich maritime history, thanks to its proximity to the River Frome, Avon Gorge, and Atlantic Ocean. A murky past tied to the slave trade and expeditions to the ‘New World’ has evolved into a modern emphasis on the creative media, electronics and aerospace industries, with the city centre docks redeveloped into cultural museums exploring justice and heritage. The ‘Bristol Pound’ is the largest circulating local currency in the UK, and is just one of the city’s creative approaches to community-building, eco-business support, and sustainable innovation.

If you would like to travel to Bristol on Friday 2nd November, keep an eye on your Syracuse email account: Registration will open on Tuesday 30th October, and spaces will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis! This trip will lend itself to a Social & Political Justice or Sport, Wellbeing & the Environment reflection to earn a stamp in your London Passport.
