Share knowledge, deepen conversations, learn new skills. Practice and grow a culture of well-being, engagement and resilience.
Who it’s for
Community leaders, connectors and hosts across HRM who are…
grappling with tough climate-related challenges and looking for a place to have real conversations with peers
wanting to broaden and deepen their understanding of the issues, how they are related, and how to navigate barriers like denial, conflict, disinformation and polarization
inspired to host meetings and gatherings that include joy and creativity as well as practical tools and information
asking questions about how to meet people where they are without overwhelming them with information and stress
ready to dive deeper into an issue they care about or try something new in their community, with the support of the group and project mentors
What we’ll do
Meet as a group online or in-person every three weeks, beginning March 10. We’ll take a pause in July and August, resume September 15, and end December 8. Most of these meetings will be online for 90 minutes. Over the year, there will also be three in-person, day-long skill-building workshops.
Between meetings, we’ll explore module topics at our own pace, using provided videos, webinars, and reflection questions. (Approx. 90 minutes/week)
We will work on a project according to our interest and time available. This could take place over the summer months or at any other time during the leadership journey.
We will contribute to where the journey takes us. The facilitators are flexible and will respond to the needs and interests of the group.
