Community Conversations and Storytelling

Create space for people to share, listen, and be heard.

We design and facilitate conversations that help people share their experiences, explore climate questions, and listen across perspectives and generations. Stories, reflection, and creative activities connect environmental change with everyday life and help participants identify shared concerns and possibilities for action.

Finding HOPE in Stories

LITERATURE AND REFLECTION
Community Groups and Book Clubs

Explore climate themes, emotions, and possibilities for action through literature using the HOPE Framework. Guided conversations and reflective activities invite participants to connect stories with their own experiences, consider different perspectives, and identify meaningful personal or collective responses.

Connecting to Our Living World

NATURE AND CONNECTION
Families and Intergenerational Groups

Use stories, observation, and place-based activities to deepen relationships with animals, trees, habitats, and one another. Shared experiences build ecological understanding, create space to express emotions, and invite participants of different generations to care for the places they call home.

Climate ART-ivists

VISUAL ART AND COMMUNITY EXPRESSION
Community Arts and Gathering Spaces

Explore local climate questions through visual art. Participants investigate issues, consider different perspectives, and express their experiences and hopes through painting, collage, sculpture, or collaborative artwork. Artist statements connect their creations to community stories and possibilities for change. A shared exhibition invites conversation, connection, and collective action.

Climate ACT-ion

THEATRE AND COMMUNITY STORYTELLING
Community Theatre and Gathering Spaces

Bring local climate stories to the stage. Participants draw on community experiences, interviews, literature, or original writing to create scenes, monologues, or collaborative performances. Through developing characters and exploring different perspectives, they make space for climate emotions and imagine possible futures. A community performance and facilitated conversation invite audiences to reflect and explore meaningful action together.

Climate Storytelling Through Our Lens

Use photography and multimodal storytelling to explore local climate experiences and community priorities. Participants combine inquiry, reflection, and ethical media practices to develop stories that bring their perspectives into public conversations, with particular opportunities to amplify youth voices.

PROGRAM DESIGN AND SUPPORT
Community Organizations and Local Partners

Collaborate to integrate climate literacy into community programs, outreach, and engagement efforts. Together, we identify goals and audiences, develop activities and resources, support implementation, and use participant feedback and reflection to strengthen programs over time.
