Staying Hopeful While Facing the Climate Crisis
At COP26 the young people and young adults in the Sustaining All Life delegation led a workshop “Staying Hopeful While Facing the Climate Crisis.”
We introduced the tools of RC and our language liberation theory to young and young adult climate activists while we all played, laughed, connected, and looked at the scary realities for young people and young adults who are on the frontlines of the climate emergency.
We talked about how hope motivates humans to act, and we got to notice that we are not alone and can together face and discharge the feelings of hopelessness.
Nearly every young person and young adult who attended the workshop stayed afterward to hang out [spend relaxed unstructured time] and connect with us. And another climate justice group invited Sustaining All Life to lead a workshop just for them.
The event was a great success!
