This summer, we are seeking participants for a project exploring how to have conversations about climate change in our daily lives – and how to come out of them feeling inspired and connected. At the same time, we will be building a hugely important evidence base for the future.

The project is a collaboration between Climate-KIC and Climate Outreach working to widen and deepen public engagement in climate change by producing world-leading advice and practical tools for engagement.

As a participant, you will get:

• A training webinar in early August laying out the evidence base on how to have effective day-to-day conversations about climate change;
• Support – including from your own community – in having four to five conversations about climate change in your daily life over the summer period, with different sorts of people;
• The ability to feedback your experiences in written and (if you like) video form and be a part of a wider piece of analysis;
• A second webinar in October pulling together the feedback from all the participants into a piece of research;
• A short report giving down to earth guidance on how to have conversations about climate change in your daily life, produced as a result of the research;
  Inspiration to go on doing it!
• At the moment, evidence exists from a number of different sectors – including social science research on climate change communications, non-violent communication principles and informal advice for important personal conversations like coming out or talking about religious beliefs. But this will be the first in-depth exploration of how to have the climate change conversation.

At a time when more are waking up to the climate crisis, these conversations are important. We’d really love to have your participation in exploring this – and hope that together we can learn a lot.
