Storytelling Workshop - Tell Your Climate Story

Coming together to share our experiences and emotions related to climate change can strengthen feelings of connection and belonging that can help deal with eco-anxiety. Storytelling is an important part of imagining and co-creating a sustainable world for all.

You will be presented with concrete examples and guidelines for how to write an engaging personal story.
