About this event
What are eco-emotions?
How can we learn to connect with them, and communicate these hard subjects with our family? or with our community?
--
Join us for an interactive workshop where art and science come together to navigate the complex emotions surrounding climate change and environmental shifts.
Led by Montreal-based artist-researcher Marie-Hélène Roch, this engaging session invites participants to share, reflect, and understand feelings related to our changing environments.
Through open discussion and hands-on activities, discover how art can be a powerful tool for understanding and addressing eco-anxiety. This is a perfect activity to come with your kid, a friend, or a coworker!
All are welcome — no artistic or scientific experience required!
