System Change Webinar Series

Our Summer System Change Webinar series will examine some of the most pressing climate justice and energy issues we are facing against the backdrop of the upcoming Irish EU Presidency. Discover some of the solutions and ways we can embed hope into our activism to sustain us in our continued efforts towards building a just and sustainable future for people and the planet.

Join us for our next webinar in the series 

'Active Hope and System Change'

What is Active Hope, and how does it help us to participate more effectively and sustainably in systems change?

Join us to explore the principles, perspectives, tools and practices of Active Hope, and think together about how they might be relevant and useful for the groups and communities we are part of. Learn more about Active Hope here. 

When: Wednesday, July 29, 6-7pm 

Speakers: Anna Swisher

What: In times of uncertainty and overlapping social and environmental challenges, it can be difficult to know how to respond without becoming overwhelmed or discouraged. Active Hope provides a framework for responding to these challenges—not by relying on optimism that everything will turn out well, but by choosing to engage with courage, purpose and care.

Join us to explore the principles, perspectives, tools and practices of Active Hope, and think together about how they might be relevant and useful for the groups and communities we are part of. Together, we'll reflect on how to cultivate resilience, deepen our sense of agency, and sustain ourselves for the long-term work of systems change.
