Communicating Climate Change Workshop Series

Workshop 2: Communicating the Story with Sohail Inayatullah (25 August 2010)

Workshop 3: Communicating for Action with Kath Fisher (8 September 2010)

(Workshop 1 Communicating the Science with Jenni Metcalfe, was held on 11 August 2010 and received very positive feedback from attendees)

In Workshop 2: Communicating the Story with Sohail Inayatullah, the 3 hour session will help you to develop a climate change communication strategy by unpacking the politics of how issues are framed and policies created. Sohail will look at multiple views of climate change: the official description, the system, the multiple worldviews and the underlying inner stories and show you how all these perspectives assist in leading to policy change. Join Sohail to discover a new story, a new worldview and new systemic behavioural changes to accompany your own climate change story which helps others vision an alternative future. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to see a leading futurist thinker and teacher in action.

ASC has collaborated with The International Association for Public Participation Australasia and the Sydney Environmental Educators Network to present this series of 3 innovative workshops with 3 leading practitioners during August and September 2010.
