An Ecology of Active Hope

Ecology, exploring the amazing complexity of life, is often something we study through a lens looking outward at the world.

This webinar puts our ecology in focus, turning the lens around to explore the active hope of our part to play in times of escalating planetary crises.

• Why is my well-being important for the future of life on Earth?
• What part does hope play in a world facing climate catastrophe?
• Where do economics and human values meet with ecology?
• When is our time to act, and should it be us?

In a time of multiple global crises it’s vital that we connect with others that care enough to take positive action. This interactive and connective webinar offers the opportunity to meet other like-minded young adults that wish to make a positive difference.

Through a blend of online and offline participatory workshops, discussions and activities, we’ll explore our part to play in these challenging times. This is a chance to contextualise our passion for the natural world in the bigger picture of global change and activism.

We’ll dive into the detail of climate science, exploring how human values shape behaviour, why understanding economics is key to ecology, and how hope is often misunderstood as part of taking positive action.
