#talkingclimate: A toolkit for more effective conversations
2025-11-02 14:00 - 16:00 | Micklegate Social, 148-150 Micklegate, York, YO1 6JX
Climate change can be a difficult topic to bring up with your friends, family or colleagues. It can generate eye rolls, fact throwing and even arguments. It can be lonely if you feel like the only one worrying. But bringing up climate change in conversation can also be a very powerful thing we can do. So join us for a two hour workshop to build up a practical toolkit, based on Climate Outreach research, to practise talking about climate change with your friends, family and colleagues.
Age restrictions: 16+
