COP26 Legacy and Climate Activism

This digital session will begin with a discussion around the COP26: outcomes, successes and failures. We will then consider our own role in climate change and how we might make a difference through engaging in activism. We’ll use David Livingstone’s passionate campaign against the East African Slave Trade as a springboard from which to explore global citizenship and our personal responsibility to the planet.

The workshop ends with a zine-making activity; we will introduce the class to zines as a means of activism and provide you with the tools you need to make your own zines on the climate crisis and COP26.

By the end of the session, you will:

  • Understand better the outcomes of the COP26 and how this relates to Scotland and the wider world.
  • Feel empowered to act against climate crisis and have the tools to do so, through creative expression.
