EARTH TALK continues... Earth Talk is a course, an online community of practice and a book that offers a rich set of tools for effective conversations and creative activities to understand, deal with and take action on the Earth Crisis. Once again, we're inviting a fresh influx of people to join the Earth Talk community to access the following: - A network of like-minded others to share your practice and challenges, and find collaborators - A book in ten parts - Seven online training workshops - 128+ activities and delivery resources — including diagrams, posters, card sets and question sets, workshop plans, mini-essays and slide decks - Extra events e.g. themed discussions organised by members Facilitated by Bridget McKenzie, who founded CMUK to focus on enabling people to make sense of environmental issues. We're working collectively to create practical opportunities for practitioners to develop public engagement skills. Earth Talk enables a much wider reach, beyond the UK and to anyone interested in engaging people with these challenges with imagination and care. These resources and insights are shared to rapidly spread the skills to activate the people we connect with in our work or daily lives, to help them understand the Earth Crisis, to tackle its causes, and to care for others as its impact worsens. A new round of online workshops will run after Christmas, with an introductory session taking place on Tuesday 17th December For more info and how to join see https://lnkd.in/emtYxSfU

Bridget McKenzie is running this workshop as part of the GLOBAL DONUT DAY activities in #Norwich Reimagine Norwich Action Workshop Wednesday 6th Nov 3-4:30PM, Carrow House. Inspired by our radical heritage and the Doughnut Economics principles, explore actions we can take for a city meeting needs within the planet’s limits. To book: https://lnkd.in/e5GsZzEY "I’m using the character briefings that I developed for Live Action Role Play walks for #PossitopiaNorwich These are a cast of historic people who worked to make our City and the world more safe, healthy and just, including anti-slavery campaigner and storyteller Amelia Opie and philanthropic community-builder Jeremiah Colman. In this new workshop (taking place in the home that Colman built) we will travel from the past to the future, through this present moment that is a Disruption Nexus. It’s a time when the normal has become impossible so we must imagine and build a new way of meeting needs of people and other species to end ecological overshoot. Concluding by travelling into the future, we will write as future historians of the amazing actions taken by us, the radical characters of Norwich in 2024."

🌲 Does a connection with nature lead to a desire, and more importantly, action to protect, repair, heal and regenerate our natural world? 💓 Do challenging emotions (fear, sadness, grief), along with wonder, awe and love, create a crucible we must pass through, in order to access the will, courage and tenacity to change our systems, in service of life? (Paraphrasing Ashlee Cunsolo here.) 🖼️ And if so, what is the role of our institutions? Is it the role of science-based educational centers, such as natural history museums, planetariums, aquariums, nature centers, to catalyze action to protect and salvage our planet? 💡 These are some of the questions I raise in this week's Substack piece. 🧠 We no longer have to speculate, and rely on our old assumptions. We can look at the science, such as emerging social neuroscience, social neurobiology, and the science of learning. We can look at how "affect"--strong, visceral emotions and feelings, oftentimes unconscious--inform our actions and behaviors. We can look at how relationships can catalyze action, and metabolize big, hard truths. 👉 I propose that what we are asking millions of humans to confront, is too much to process for most, without the conditions to support metabolizing. This goes for senior executives or school children. If you are sharing information and data, you have a responsibility to provide some form of 'container.' The conditions for change. THIS MATTERS. 🔵 These conditions have a lot to do with creating "relational homes." Simply the ability to be asked a question, and be listened to. Heard. To hear oneself think aloud, and listen to others in their own sense-making. We think socially and process relationally. Just look at Hannah Critchlow, PhD, HonDSc's work. Or Daniel Siegel. Or any number of contemporary neuroscientific researchers. 🤔 I want you to imagine for a moment what it would look like if we applied these evidence-based principles, in how we bring people together to address our biodiversity and nature crises. For those at the recent COP, please give this some serious thought. The resources are available, it is only a matter of having the courage to break some molds, experiment, and try something new. Check out the piece and share your thoughts. It's conversations that are real and honest, that will actually change our world. #sharingiscaring #climatechange #polycrisis #informalscienceeducation #naturalhistory #biodiversity #cop16 #existentialpsychology #guiding #relational #changemanagement #behaviorchange #conservation #environmentaleducation #sciencecomms #convening #trauma #climatepsychology #climateanxiety #ESG #sustainability

It is #BigGreenWeek in the UK so we wanted to shout about 9 amazing UK-based organisations we love that are fighting for a better future. Please support these groups and add more in the comments! 1. Force of Nature: Helping young people turn climate anxiety into action and work with leaders to drive intergenerational solutions. 2. Campaign for National Parks: The only independent charity dedicated to securing the future of National Parks in England and Wales. They are here to unite, inspire and empower everyone to take action and enjoy wilder National Parks. 3. Black2Nature campaigns for equal access to nature for all but concentrates on Visible Minority Ethnic communities who are currently excluded from the countryside. They run nature camps, arrange nature activities, organise race equality in nature conferences and campaign to make the nature conservation and environmental sectors ethnically diverse. 4. Another Way helps people to live in a more environmentally friendly way through tree planting and outreach. Through the Power of Ten App, they also provide tools and resources to help young people make changes in their schools. 5. Right to Roam is campaigning to bring a Right to Roam Act to England, encouraging active and responsible enjoyment of nature. 6. www.stopcambo.org.uk The network that successfully prevented drilling of the Cambo oil field, and is now campaigning to #StopRosebank. 7. Black Girl Environmentalist is a national organization addressing the pathway and retention issue in the climate movement for Black girls, women and gender-expansive people. 8. ClientEarth The High Court has now told the UK government not once, but twice, that its climate strategy is not fit for purpose and is therefore unlawful. Client Earth is the law firm that made that happen. 9. Climate Museum UK is a group of artists, designers and educators who help people make sense of environmental issues through creative conversations.
