Feelings, Family and Future: Communities supporting parents and children managing climate emotions

Join us for a one-day workshop examining Australian and Scottish families’ climate emotions, along with creative and community responses to these climate emotions. The workshop will feature talks from Australian and Scottish academics researching emotions related to climate change, an exhibition of photos and stories from Australian parents, a writing activity and interactive session on what communities can do.
