Ryan Cho - Imagining the Future We Want

Responding to a big issue like climate change can make people feel overwhelmed, even though there are lots of alternatives and solutions. In this workshop, students will use stories and a simulation activity to help us put this moment into a historical context, move past the sense of overwhelm, imagine the world they want and how to get us there.

 

Ryan Cho - Social Justice

Social justice and climate justice are sometimes difficult for people to understand or talk about – they know that they want the world to be better and fairer, but may not know how to talk about or speak about social justice issues. This workshops will help people distinguish between different types of power, privilege, and oppression and provide them with lenses and vocabulary that will help them explain and understand social justice both for themselves and in their conversations with other people.

 

Ryan Cho - Theories of Change

Climate justice emphasizes systemic change – new rules and regulations, public investments in infrastructure and better systems – above and beyond the small changes we can make as individuals. This module reflects on successful social movements, what has made them successful, and what we can learn from them to make things better, both in achieving climate justice in BC and social justice in the world at large.
