About the event

Our Art for Climate Action programme explores the role that art has to play in encouraging people to connect with environmental issues and bring about meaningful change in perceptions and behaviours. This Climate Cafe provides an opportunity to come together in this supportive and confidential space to get together and start an honest conversation about how our converging climate and ecological challenges make us feel. A professional facilitator will guide the sessions and give you an opportunity to talk and time to process your feelings alongside others who feel the same – you are not alone.

 

About Southampton Climate Cafe

What do you do with your knowledge of the climate and environmental emergency?

Do you try not to feel or think about it, struggle with eco-anxiety, or are fearful of addressing your feelings about this challenge?

Climate Café is the space for people explore how these topics make us feel. This is not the place for judgement or comparing what actions we currently take, although it can be an empowering space to take the first steps towards climate action.

This event is suitable for ages 16 and up. In order to create a safe and confidential space, it is encouraged to stay for the whole session.

The sessions is led by a professional team consisting of trained psychotherapists who organise Climate Cafés across Southampton and Hampshire.
