Length: Invite is for 1 hr – invitation is open to stay beyond if discussion continues

Date: 1st November
Time: 18.30
Platform: Zoom

Lead on discussion: Facilitated by VOXED, and led by Marla King. Marla is a dance artist, climate and social justice activist, exploring ways to embed these values, along with connection and curiosity for nature, and more human approaches to climate conversations.

Content: This session will be an opportunity for people working within the arts sector to learn and explore the powerful influence the arts can have in climate action, and why it is so crucial we take action in a way that encompasses values of climate and social justice.

This session aims to support you in feeling more empowered to take climate action; on how to reduce carbon footprint in a practical sense, but also understanding the importance of climate action beyond carbon counting – connecting the crucial need for social justice in climate action, restoration and protection of biodiversity, reduced consumption and waste among other things.

We’ll highlight the crucial role the arts and cultural sector has in response to the climate emergency, as well as be an open and supportive space that encourages questioning and promotes dialogue for collective learning and reflections on how to embed climate justice at the root of the work we do.
