What is Let’s Talk Climate? 

Please note our focus this month is on workshops 2 & 3, however we are running two online workshop 1 on 16 March. 

We have three workshops which are currently run seperately in person and online but we can also modify them to fit into one day depending on people's needs (if you would like to host one for your group, organisation or workplace).  

The foundational workshop is 2-2.5 hours long, and subsequent workshops run similar length.  You don’t have to attend all three but it would be beneficial. 

Let’s Talk Climate with friends, whānau and community - workshop #1 

Our first workshop, Let’s Talk Climate, is introducing our TALKWELL principles on how to talk with people in your life about climate change (we have an adapted version for talking with tamariki (and everyone else!)). 

How to navigate climate conversations around the family table, over a cuppa at work, on the bus, or at the school gate without conflict. Let’s Talk Climate aims to equip you with the skills and tools to have good conversations about climate change with friends and whānau. When we have good conversations, we experience or deepen a sense of connection, feel like we have been understood and understand another perspective a bit better.  

Let’s Talk Climate and how we got here – workshop #2 

In our second workshop we discuss changes to our landscape over time, the local risks and what it means to you and your community.  

With a focus on how climate change can impact our social connections, health and wellbeing and how this underpins our collective ability to respond.  

Let's Talk Climate and what we can do about it – workshop #3 

In our third workshop we discuss what’s next?  Hear from people working on local projects that are win-win in terms of meeting social and environmental needs and reducing emissions.  

Explore what your own climate action plan could look like, including at home, your neighbourhood, wider community and beyond.
