Driven by human activity, global warming affects all living beings on our planet: humans, plants, animals, microorganisms, etc. The increasingly dramatic consequences now spare no one. On the one hand, catastrophic rhetoric claims that everything is lost. On the other, magical thinking places its faith in the technological goddess.
But as citizens, leaders, or organizations, are we able to determine our share of responsibility in this situation? Do we have any idea of the existing avenues for solutions? Yet they are numerous and accessible to everyone. This workshop makes it possible to take stock of solutions that fit into our attitudes, behaviors, and everyday actions. To fight global warming, there are only two requirements: boldness and the will to act.
As a recognized agent of social change, Canadian facilitator Jean Provencher will share with participants the benefit of his expertise and decades-long social commitment.
Understand the sources and impacts of global warming.
Become aware of each person’s individual and collective responsibility in the fight against global warming.
Identify potential solutions that can be implemented daily to combat global warming.
This workshop is part of a social change education pathway, which offers activities (e.g., seminars) allowing for deeper exploration of certain topics.
