Intergenerational Climate Café

Manchester Museum

A welcoming space for people all ages to get together and talk about the climate crisis

What is an Intergenerational Climate Cafe?An Intergenerational Climate Cafe is a welcoming, action-free community space for people all ages to have open conversations about how climate change makes us feel. We particularly encourage the participation of students and people aged 50+. Over drinks and snacks we’ll have an informal and confidential conversation, supported by experienced facilitators. You can choose to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.Participants will have the opportunity to encounter a curated selection of Manchester Museum's objects close-up during the session.The Intergenerational Climate Cafe is free and will take place in Manchester Museum’s Top Floor Space. Free drinks and snacks (including vegan and gluten free options) will be provided. Why are Climate Cafes significant?The climate and ecological crisis is the greatest threat facing our planet today. In response, we are seeing a rise in anxiety, fear and overwhelm globally.We need spaces to navigate these emotions in solidarity with a global community already experiencing the impacts of the climate crisis. In this way we can come together, share openly and honestly and reflect on how we can navigate the climate crisis to build a more sustainable world.The Manchester Museum Climate Café programme has been developed with the support of the <a href="https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/" title="https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Climate Psychology Alliance.</a>Tickets are free and available to book online via Eventbrite, by emailing <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/introductory-taichi-qigong-sessions-tickets-1237532546159?aff=oddtdtcreator" title="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/introductory-taichi-qigong-sessions-tickets-1237532546159?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">maria.ramosacevedo@manchester.ac.uk</a> or by calling 07818 578 474
