CPDN (climateprediction.net) is a University of Oxford-based volunteer computing project that runs climate modelling experiments using the spare processing power of volunteers' home computers. Volunteers install the BOINC client, join the Climateprediction.net project, and allow climate models to run in the background on their machines. The project is not-for-profit and is run by a team of climate scientists, computing experts and graduate students in partnership with researchers worldwide.

Volunteers help run large ensembles of global and regional climate models which are computationally intensive and require many small contributions from ordinary computers. Participation is suitable for anyone with a compatible personal computer and an interest in supporting climate science; no formal qualifications are required. Key practical steps are to download and install the BOINC client, register a CPDN account, add the Climateprediction.net project to BOINC, and configure preferences (for example to suspend work while the computer is in use).

Participants can access technical FAQs and community message boards for setup help and discussion. The role offers engagement with climate research, opportunities to learn about modelling and data, and membership of a global volunteer community, but it does not provide a formal qualification or paid work.

The Ban Ki-moon Foundation’s "Your Future in Green Jobs" is a free, self-paced online course made up of six interactive modules that help young people explore climate change, green career paths, and the skills needed to pursue them.

Through imitation, idiomatic ornaments, and extended techniques for shoe sounds and textures, participants learn how to shape rhythm lines that echo melody and create rhythmic counterpoint, while developing listening, responsiveness, and sonic awareness.

The workshop is designed for dancers and interested instrumentalists of all levels. It is taught by ear and recorded for registered students, so you can join live or catch up later. Participants should wear comfortable smooth-soled shoes with a low or no heel to get the most from the session.

The Debussy International Music Competition is an open, international competition for musicians across a wide range of classical categories including All Instruments, Conducting, Composition, Voice, Chamber, Choir, Ensemble, Orchestra and Music Creator. The competition accepts performers, conductors, composers and groups of any nationality and age; category-specific age brackets determine eligibility. Submissions may be video or audio (composers may also submit MIDI files), and for many categories video evidence is required. Age for an application is determined on the day of the application deadline (or the average age of the group for group entries).

The competition defines many categories with explicit repertoire and duration rules (period-specific categories require works from the indicated eras). Multiple categories may be entered using the same link if the recording meets each category's requirements, but if multiple works are submitted in a single application only the first work will be considered. Additional requirements and FAQs cover submission formats, visibility of performers in video submissions, acceptable accompaniment (including audio backgrounds), and limits on submitted writing (1500 words) or video length for innovative writing. Specific prize details vary by category; winners in the Music Video category receive an e-certificate and a listing on the Beeffie Creative Musical Artists page.
