Climate Games and Mini-sessions for Scientists
I just led a successful (non-RC) workshop for scientists. It was called Communicating Information and Releasing Initiative on the Climate Crisis.
I am not a scientist. Organizers of the conference had wanted proposals for a workshop, so I sent them a workshop idea, and they accepted it!
We played games that let people try communicating science facts in different ways, show their discouragement, and laugh together at outrageous solutions.
I taught them to do mini-sessions. I explained that exchanging equal listening on a regular basis would assist them to overcome challenges, build community, and sustain themselves in doing their meaningful and challenging work.
People came away energized and connected. They had new ideas of what to try and, perhaps more important, new ways of trying things. It was fun! I’m going to keep trying things like this.
