Why is storytelling important:
Storytelling is how we develop individual and collective identities that define the ends we seek... Storytelling is how we access the emotional, or moral, resources for the motivation to act on those ends.
- Marshall Ganz, The Power of Story in Social Movements

The videos will be featuring our Climate Change Storytelling project:
>>> We believe addressing the climate crisis begins with talking about climate change topics openly, regularly, and in community.

Our project has included not only videos, but also public speaking engagements, community visioning sessions and art work.

Community Visioning Sessions: Community members, including children came together at different events and locations to discuss and draw pictures of their vision of climate resiliency in our area. The events and locations included: First Robotics Duluth Regional and Juneteenth event, Pike Lake Elementary School, Peace Church Youth Group and Harbor City International School and UMD Art Department.

HAPPY EARTH WEEK!

To celebrate this special week we want to highlight some amazing conversations we recorded as part of the Climate Change Storytelling project:

Duluth Community Climate Conversations:
Duluthians talk about climate change and hope, loving nature and caring for each other. Ideas to spread.
