Climate Change feels like a big cloud of wild weather that covers our future, which many fear will be driven by artificially intelligent programs and machines. But wait, we have a say! This workshop will utilize a story circle to unlock the wisdom we all have to help us formulate concerns and ideas for meeting this moment as a seed for future flourishing. As a participant in this workshop, you will be introduced to the story circle methodology to build trust, community, and curiosity in your classroom for tackling challenges that impact our ability to be resilient.
