Workshop on the Climate Crisis

Date: Thursday, November 16, 2023

Time: 9am - 4:30pm

Location: Virtual via Zoom

HSA members are witnessing and experiencing the impacts of the climate crisis every day in the important work you do across the province. The scale and severity of the climate crisis often makes individuals feel that they have no role or power to address it. In a customized, full-day workshop we will move from despair to action with a focus on organizing, movement-building, and learning more about those who are most affected. We will also include elements of joy and delight because fun must be an essential part of our activist practices.

Participants will leave the workshop with:
- Clarity on the values they want to apply to their activism.
- Topics and issues on which to focus their climate action.
- An introductory plan of action.

This workshop is open to all HSA members. Those who have never taken an HSA elective workshop will be prioritized.
