Description
Frustrated or confused by climate change and issues of environmental justice? Curious about how you can make change and get involved?
Join in our participatory Intro into activism workshop run by People and Planet, a student network running coordinated campaigns against oppression and injustice.
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. You don't need to attend both sessions. All are welcome!
