A event on Wednesday 16th February. The event starts at 19:00.
7-9pm
Writers, poets and activists at all levels are invited to take part in an online writing and creative journey to become better climate change advocates, to write poetry and spoken word that goes further, deeper, more imaginatively into the climate change fight, leaving behind the tired cliché and doom narrative – while helping vision a better, safer more extraordinary future.
Led by Hot Poets Artistic Directors Chris Redmond and Liv Torc and supported by Hot Poet scientists working at eight climate change organisations from around the world, including the Met Office, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, Manchester University and Beach Co-op, South Africa – you will get to learn from the experts about what they need most from Artists.
This event is an introductory session to a 5 week writing course but we welcome anyone to attend without joining in with the rest of the course. This session is where scientists and poets come together to share ideas, have dialogue and discuss climate communication challenges. We will invite each science/environmental partner to set an area of investigation/provocation that the poets can choose to look into during the coming workshops.
This session is included in the full five week course fee (tickets available for the full course are available here https://hdfst.uk/E70825) but this event can also be attended separately as a stand alone event by booking using this page.
