About this Event
Our Climate Story: A New Chapter
Max Kade Center | November 18 | 2:30–4:30 PM
Join us for an afternoon convening of Philadelphia-area climate literacy champions organized by My Climate Story (MCS) and co-sponsored by Penn Climate, PHENND, and the City of Philadelphia's Office of Sustainability.
This collaborative gathering will bring together regional leaders working at the intersection of climate education, storytelling, and community action. Attendees will have the opportunity to surface and celebrate existing climate storytelling efforts across the region, with a spotlight on My Climate Story's innovative approach to building climate literacy through narrative.
The afternoon will feature an interactive welcome with climate storytelling activities, followed by lightning presentations showcasing MCS's signature "recipes": practical frameworks for crafting diverse climate stories, from ethnographic interviews and memoirs to speculative futures. A facilitated discussion will invite participants to explore what climate stories their organizations and region most need, and how cross-sector collaboration can advance climate literacy goals, including plans for a January convening to grow the community and engage potential funders.
Central to the conversation will be MCS's "Roadmap to a New Climate Story," a campaign advocating for stronger climate literacy standards in K–16 education across the Commonwealth, which attendees will help shape and refine together.
Refreshments will be provided. We look forward to engaging with you!
