DNG Earth Week special -getting to grips with climate science

Let's face it, understanding the science of climate change can be pretty intimidating! 😰

More workshop dates to be confirmed. More can be added if the demand is there. Support your DNG friends as they step up their climate action. The first workshop is always the hardest, so we're looking for warm supportive members who can be encouraging and will still learn A LOT!

What is it?

• An interactive workshop to sharpen your climate science knowledge
• A systems mapping activity to understand the causes and effects of a complex system
• A creative and visual way to understand climate science
• A team activity to meet other DNGs who are curious about climate change

Logistics

• Workshop is 3 hours long with a 10 min break in the middle
• Max group size is 6
• You will need to be at a laptop and ready to engage and learn (this is not a passive webinar, your participation is needed and encouraged)
• Your Zoom link will be shared by your facilitator 1 day before your workshop

Cost

• To confirm your spot, please pay a deposit of £5 - this money goes to With Many Roots to support their admin and to avoid no-shows. No-shows are very tiring and I don't want to let these girls down.
• The workshop will be pay-what-you-feel. Your facilitator will share their payment method at the end of the workshop. Your facilitators will have put a lot of time and effort into preparing this workshop. The suggested donation is £25.
• 10% of all income goes back to Climate Collage NGO

More about The Climate Collage

The Climate Collage is a non-profit organisation that aims to raise awareness and understanding about climate change. It was founded by Cédric Ringenbach in 2018 who is the creator of the workshop having the same name. ​

“The Climate Collage” is an educational tool based on the conclusions of the IPCC* report helping participants understand our climate system and the consequences of its disruption.

So far more than 100 000 people have played worldwide.

Many members of DNG and the Inner Circle have already played, here's what they had to say:

"I played a few months ago and LOVED it. Do it!" Silvia

“Fantastic workshop packed full of information, ideas and facts, but presented in a really engaging way. I’ve learned a lot and feel very inspired to step up to take action. Sophia presents information so clearly and articulately and is a total master at breaking down big concepts into manageable bite-sized chunks you can actually do something with.” Alex

Laura P wrote a blog about it here.

"Definitely recommend this!!! It was a fun, non-judgmental way to learn about the intricacies of the climate crisis that has stayed with me 💚" Melissa

"I wanted to thank YOU again for the amazing event you hosted yesterday! It truly opened up my eyes on climate change and made me learn so much, I'm so grateful for you putting this together 🙌" Ines

Sam interviewed Sophia and talked about it on her podcast.

"I loved the discovery element - it felt like I was building on knowledge that I already had - as opposed to one way learning. It stayed light and fun, though we were dealing with some pretty heavy topics. We had a really genuine lovely chat after - it sparked some good new thought." Katie

"I wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to join a Climate Collage workshop. It was such an eye opener!" Mara

"Thanks again for the workshop last night! Knowledge is power and I learned a lot doing the Climate Collage!" Jennifer

We ran 4 workshops for the Inner Circle in 24 hours on Black Friday last year - now we're taking it out to the Facebook community.

These events have been organised in partnership with Digital Nomad Girls and With Many Roots.

• With Many Roots - The climate crisis together with rising inequality is the biggest issue of our time- through workshops, mentoring and words, we'll help you find your place in the movement.
