Facing the Future: Facilitating Climate Change Conversations at Your Library

May 8, 2018 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Hooksett Public Library, 31 Mount St Mary's Way, Hooksett, NH 03106, USA
SPACE IS LIMITED! SIGN UP TODAY!

From the news that earth surface temperatures hit a record highin 2016, to a presidential administration that denies the effect fossil fuelsplay in climate change, we are inundated with stories and images about climatechange. And yet authentic face-to-face conversations about climate change (withfamily, friends, neighbors, colleagues) are rare. According to the Yale Programon Climate Change Communication, “more than half of those who are interested inglobal warming or think the issue is important ‘rarely’ or ‘never’ talk aboutit with family and friends.” Participants will learn why dialogue about climatechange is critical to creating a brighter future, and how librarians canfacilitate dialogues that empower our communities to be better equipped to respond,adapt, and mitigate the effects. This interactive, experiential training willguide you through the creation of a “Climate Communications Toolbox” you canuse to facilitate dialogue and host “Climate Conversations” within your librarycommunity. You will:
- Learn how to create and host “Climate Conversations” at your library.
- Share ideas for archiving and exhibiting artifacts created in workshops.
- Brainstorm ideas for building community partnerships.
- Learn why resilience and social capital are critical for communities to thrive and endure, and how libraries can help communities build both.
- Experience mindfulness exercises as a tool for “re-wiring” the brain to stabilize the nervous system.
- Explore your own thoughts and feelings about climate change through storytelling and reflective writing.
