POETRY WORKSHOP:
Our Climate Futures
**Please note all times are listed in EST**
Poetry has been revealed to increase empathy, and is an effective teaching tool, particularly when it comes to topics like climate change. Storytelling has been a cornerstone of the Black tradition since before the trans-Atlantic slave trade. It was (and still is) a way to harbor memory, pass on tradition from generation to generation, and honor the histories that make up Black life. We will be looking at a couple of climate themed poems by Indigenous and Black authors (Camille Dungy and Craig Santos Perez) in order to build our own climate storytelling familiarity.
