Host Your Own Climate Conversation 🗣️
Do you want to make a difference but can’t attend the event in person? No problem! You can take part in a self-guided activity by hosting your own climate conversation. Talking about climate change and your own personal climate stories is a tangible way to start making an impact. Whether it’s with friends, family, or classmates, talking about climate change and sharing personal stories can spark awareness and inspire others to take action.
Roles you will need:
- Conversation Facilitator - You do NOT need to be a climate expert to facilitate this activity. You just need to be open and willing to listen.
- Conversation Participants - You do not need any prior climate knowledge or experience.
Great things can start with a simple conversation—so let’s talk about climate!
