This event is part of a series of online sessions open to young people aged 16-30.
To build and sustain a powerful and effective climate change movement, we need spaces to rest and recharge. After a year of digital organising, many of us are exhausted. Join us for an offline afternoon of regenerative activism.
We have curated a variety of activities and resources for you to choose from, all designed to help you rest and recharge. While the term self-care has been co-opted by capitalist brands, these activities will help you recharge while also refusing capitalism. These will all be offline, away from screens, but done together across distance.
These will include creative activities, reflective activities, things centred around movement, mental health, learning and more. You can decide to take part in as much or as little as you choose.
While the focus of this event is absolutely NOT on being productive, any photos taken or art/writing created can be submitted for a collaborative zine.
12pm: Optional Zoom intro session.
12.30pm: We send out activities pack via email. You can choose which you’d like to go away and do over the next few hours, in your own time.
5pm: Optional Zoom reflection session. We will come back together to reflect on the afternoon and share any learnings.
