In this session we will explore the role of media in shaping our ideas and policies related to the environment and the climate crisis. From climate disinformation to corporate greenwashing and from Indigenous rights to global youth activism, media are promoting positive and negative messages about the natural world and the environmental challenges. During this interactive workshop we will discuss how different worldviews have influenced our relationships with nature from the past and into the present. We will also address the importance of biophilia (the love of nature) as it relates to the global legal movement for the Rights of Nature and engage in an activity of media production.

Due to the interactive nature of this workshop, it is not recommended for ages 13 or below.

An ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the garden gate from the parking lot. It will open approximately 30 minutes before the program begins.
