Climate Justice Workshops
Nurture an understanding of how to bring about climate justice, how to cope with eco-anxiety, and how to create grassroots change in their communities through a local campaign.
During the workshop students will:

Understand what climate justice is, how climate change affects people unequally, and how it connects to their own lives and communities.
-
Reflect on power and fairness in the climate crisis, and develop critical thinking by asking challenging questions and exploring social justice.
-
Build confidence and practical skills to take climate action (individually and collectively), including planning projects or campaigns in their school or local area.
