Storying Our Futures Webinar Series

We're delighted to confirm details of three online webinars taking place in May as we launch a series of podcasts created through the 'Storying Our Futures' project.  These webinars invite storytellers, activists, journalists and interested audiences to join in conversations about how storytelling can best serve the people and lands experiencing the worst impacts of climate crisis in the border territories of the Horn of Africa.

Over the past year, we’ve been learning how these communities have already faced considerable challenges and how scientists, indigenous knowledge holders and storytellers are coming together to act for climate justice.

The webinars will be held on zoom and will offer a mix of behind the scenes information, experience-sharing and insights into the wider context of this work, and a chance to share ideas and practice together.
