Are you looking for engaging ways to navigate climate change with youth? Join us as we present pathways for children and communities to creatively respond to climate change and feel empowered in a learning community.
In this workshop, participants will learn governing principles of nature that help us to further understand the workings of the natural world. We will experience how the role of art can help children respond to their surroundings, spark curiosity and cultivate their “ecological self”.
