In this session, we’ll explore the power of storytelling and creativity in shaping the climate justice movement. Led by programmemaker & design strategist Dymphie Braun and filmmaker and earth scientist Safi Graauw, we’ll delve into the evolving role of design in social and environmental activism. We’ll hear from prominent change-makers on how to communicate complex ideas effectively by crafting narratives that are accessible and impactful — driving forward the cause of justice and solidarity.
At a time when individuals are grappling with feelings of apathy and divergent perspectives, the need to cultivate understanding and collaboration within the climate movement is paramount. We must ensure that crucial information reaches and resonates with diverse audiences, fostering greater unity and effectiveness in our collective efforts toward climate justice. Together, we’ll explore how creatives, activists, policymakers, and scientists can collaborate to overcome these barriers.
We believe that shifting from fear-based narratives to stories of optimism can inspire action and engagement. Fear can raise awareness, but hope empowers and sustains motivation. Using storytelling techniques, visualisation exercises, and backed by academic research, we will collectively imagine and build the future we want to embrace. By shifting stories from fear to optimism, we aim to inspire and empower you to take action. Who’s joining us in designing a more just, diverse, and compelling future for environmentalism?
