In this Creative Climate and Nature Journaling course you can use art, writing or other media to build up a unique creative journal. Work in the company of others inspired by a series of nature and climate related themes, with guidance on creative techniques, and information on accessible ways to act for their environment.
Fridays 12.30-2.30pm, starting Friday 6th September
General Office Print Room*, 12 Hagley Road, Stourbridge, DY8 1PS
*This venue is only accessible by stairs.
The course has been developed as a way in which people can record their responses to the changing climate in community with others. Connection with nature has well-researched benefits for health and wellbeing, but I hope to also inspire people to slow down, notice and really experience nature. As David Attenborough has said, “No one will protect what they don’t care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced”.
This course gives people time, space and inspiration to ‘journal’ their experiences in several creative ways. You don’t have to be an ‘artist’ or ‘activist’ to join, and no prior experience is necessary; this is simply a space to try things out, reflect and learn together.
