Description
Frustrated or confused by climate change and issues of environmental justice? Curious about how you can make change and get involved?
Come along on and join in our participatory "Intro into activism" workshop run by People and Planet, a student network running co-ordinated campaigns against oppression and injustice.
In this workshop we will question what activism is, explore ways we might enjoy getting involved and learn about how together we can make effective change.
This session follows on from a film screening and filmmaker Q&A for “How to protest in the land of plenty” on Monday 4 November from 17:00-19:30 but you don't need to attend both, all are welcome!
