SolaVida has hosted public gatherings on climate change and clean energy across the country with a wide variety of partners for several years now. That work has taken on a new direction of late. Check out the two events below to see where we’re going…
Upcoming Events:
- ‘The Book of Joy: A Conversation with Doug Abrams’ (Oct 22nd, on-line event)
- ‘The Air They Breathe: A Pediatrician on the Frontlines of Climate Change” Oct 24th, online-event)
As with so many other daunting problems of our time, working on climate change burns people out. Holding grief, joy, wins, losses, frustration, resilience, and all that comes with making change happen isn’t easy. To address that problem, we’ve recently been leading interactive sessions built around an unusual and diverse body of content. Work is underway with regional and national organizations to scale that up – including with ThirdAct.org.
Previously, we worked with organizations in New England and Colorado on various gatherings. These events focused on bringing in groups of people who might not otherwise be engaged in conversations about climate change. Each event revolved around a film, followed by a panel discussion with the audience. Panels have consisted of documentary filmmakers, low income community advocates, scientists, sportspeople, legislators, and others.
