Climate Action in Motion - Gr. 10-12 LIMITED
Friday February 21, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm PST
SWING 109
This CityHive workshop invites participants to actively map out their climate futures by engaging with local climate action stories, drawing dreams into plans, and uncovering what the pathways to action can look like. Participants will explore how government responsibilities and urban forces connect to sustainability in different ways, and how harnessing one’s own story and relationship to land and community can be the first steps to generating our climate futures.

Collective Action 101: How to Inspire Climate Justice - Gr. 10-12 LIMITED
Friday February 21, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm PST
SWING 122
Trying to inspire climate justice is challenging when youth are often faced with what they perceive to be unchangeable barriers. At ECF, we want to share different strategies to strive for collective action -- one we certainly need to combat climate change. Join us for a time of leadership through an opportunity to connect with your local MLAs by writing letters that will be delivered to their offices after the conference.
