Join us for a highly interactive conversation between Charlotte Hankin, Co-Founder at Coconut Thinking and Jan Dijkstra, Ecolint Sustainability Lead, to re-consider and re-imagine how we are forming and nurturing relationships with/in more-than-human world/s. How might we move from linear, cause and effect approaches towards more generative, hopeful narratives that are co-created by the many, and not just the few? This is a complex proposition and a critical one for us all to support how we educate for sustainability in our educational organisations.
Participants can expect insights, provocations and discussions to help us question and contemplate different ways in which we might embed practices of care, collaboration and creativity to help us all address issues such as climate change, climate anxiety, biodiversity loss, species extinction and more.
