While we watch the world's leaders stumble towards agreement at COP26 in trepidation, at home we are often left with a feeling of powerlessness wondering, ‘what can we do?’. At our last GEN In Conversation Colonial conservation and uneven development, we discussed radical alternatives and imaginings, along with tangible examples from around the world that offer an antidote to neocolonial conservation, extractivist models and so-called nature-based solutions. We realised that the diverse lived experiences of our panelists were all connected through one action: using art and creativity as a tool of resistance and resilience against environmental devastation, human rights violations, and neo-colonialism.

Join creative climate campaigner, Suzanne for a workshop on creative strategies for change. We will explore power and privilege mapping to develop creative campaign strategies to sustain our earth and for supporting resilient communities. Some of the questions we will explore include:

• How can we use creative strategies through art and activism to amplify our messages?

• How do we keep the momentum going from COP26, and continue to create radical alternatives and creative reimaginings?

• How can we harness our own power and privilege - as individuals and as collectives?

• What practices and rituals could help to revitalise our connection to nature, spirit, and community? How can we move in a way that is transformative, offering possibilities for healing?

We invite you to join us for an interactive, deep-dive workshop. Expect rich discussion and come prepared with questions and ideas.
