Loes Damhof, UNESCO Chair on Futures Litercy at Hanze University and Laureline Simon from One Resilient Earth will be speaking about the multiple symergies between Futures Literacy and the Arts to foster transformative climate action.
In response to many questions on our new course ‘Futures Literacy for Climate Resilience and Transformation,’ Loes Damhof and Laureline Simon will be hosting an introducion session on Thursday 28 April at 11am EST/ 5pm CET to present why we need Futures Literacy and the Arts to achieve the radical societal transformation that we need today. During the session, we will discuss:
- Why Futures Literacy is a critical capability for all professionals who are planning and implementing climate action in various capacities, as well as for those who wish to do more for the climate, both personally and professionally;
- Why the Arts combined with Futures Literacy can help shift perspectives, deepen relationships to ourselves, others and nature, as well as grow creativity and innovation in our work;
- How our previous Futures Literacy and Arts labs and workshops have proved transformative both to the participants and to the work of organizations that learned from the experience;
- How our ‘Futures Literacy for Climate Resilience and Transformation’ course is designed, and what it will be about, with a focus on the new understanding and skills participants will acquire by engaging in this transformative collective intelligence process.
We will have ample time to answer questions on Futures Literacy, arts and climate change, as well as on the upcoming online course.
We look forward to seeing you at the information session.
