On 29th April, The Future Economy Network (FEN) and Future Leap hosted a morning Climate Collage workshop in collaboration with With Many Roots, making climate science accessible. Before the event began, the attendees enjoyed some pre-sessional networking in small breakout rooms facilitated by the FEN team.
Katherine Piper, Director of Partnerships at Future Leap welcomed attendees. The benefits of joining the network were highlighted and updates shared about the Carbon Neutral Hub in Bristol, Future Leap. Katherine also ran through plans for the Festival of Sustainable Business, in light of new Government guidance towards the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sophia Cheng, Founder of With Many Roots, led the group through a wonderfully thought-provoking design workshop, facilitating conversations around climate change through a systems thinking approach. The topic focused on the impact of additional greenhouse gases on society as it is today, prompting us to think about the actions and solutions through a holistic lens.
The workshop was informative, inspiring and deeply participatory...and touched upon the very visceral and emotional experiences of our impact on the world. It was an empowering event that will continue to help us navigate the complexities of climate change in a more engaging and thought-provoking way.
Thank you to With Many Roots and the attendees of this event, which without our events calendar would not be possible.
