Climate change is the pre-eminent global issue of our time, yet many of us still struggle to find the right language, time and place to talk about it. Beyond Crisis is a 1-hour film that models a constructive dialogue on climate change, with over 50 diverse voices spread over 5 chapters. Drawing from the major themes presented in the film, this workshop will focus on techniques for hosting meaningful dialogues and deepening engagement in these areas. Short clips from the film will be presented, followed by engaging activities for us to reflect and share knowledge and experiences, opening ourselves to greater transformative discourse around climate.
