This workshop will focus on the ways audiences engage with and respond to different climate narratives — balancing higher narrative-focused approaches with more scientific storylines.
Through presentations, discussions, and interactive worksheets, participants will help shape insights into effective climate communication.
"Inspired by Audre Lorde's philosophy, this workshop invites us to explore how 'putting a name' to the climate crisis and making it tangible through speech, art and human stories, we can thus inspire empathy and action that can in turn address the challenges faced by the climate emergency," Dr Rosa Rogers, UCC's Creative Writing Lecturer in the School of English and Digital Humanities and workshop lead, said.
The agenda includes:
- Making the SDGs tangible. A panel discussion with Ambassador David Donoghue, Dr John Barimo and Dr Ger Mullally.
- Storytelling in an ever-changing climate. A presentation by author of 'The Unreliable Nature Writer', Claire Carroll.
- Interdisciplinary networking break. Time for conversation, and to explore visual art exhibition by Angela Gilmour and film screenings, such as 'Seeding the Future' by Dónal Ó Céilleachair. Light lunch also provided.
- Scientific presentations led by Met Éireann and the Translate team.
- Group co-design based on Translate science and creative questions.
The workshop is funded by Future Humanities Institute and Met Éireann.
