Climate Literacy Workshops October 2025
Overview
This immersive, 10-hour experience provides students with a powerful opportunity to engage with a curriculum designed to enhance their understanding of climate change, with a special focus on place-based information and a social justice lens.

- Develop a framework for action that can be applied to their academic, professional, and personal lives.
- Leave with a clear grasp of climate issues and a new perspective on how to create positive change.
