The online workshop will take place on Tuesday, March 19, beginning at 6:30 p.m. EST. It will be held over Zoom and will run 60-90 minutes.

CPJ is excited to present a Climate Virus Workshop as part of our 2024 Give It Up For Earth! campaign.

“Join as we combat the heaviness of climate work with hope through an insightful and energizing workshop led by Julia Sterling. Give It Up For Earth! is a Lenten campaign put together by CPJ and For the Love of Creation through which we acknowledge our current climate crisis and seek urgent solutions.

Together, we will unpack insights from leading environmental organizations and collaborate in a facilitated brainstorming exercise that will prompt you to imagine what an urgent pandemic-level climate action plan could look like in Canada. Through thoughtful and deliberate facilitation techniques and artistic forms of expression, you will be guided through learning, questioning, reflecting, and sharing your thoughts and experiences through a co-writing Imaginative futures exercise.

Examining the cross-crisis lessons between COVID-19 and the climate crisis can help us to gain new insights and knowledge as well as fresh inspiration and ideas to understand how our own work, communities and roles can work towards building this environmentally friendly collective future.”

This workshop is 60-90 minutes in length and will be held over Zoom. Register below.
