Hope in Creation Workshop

Description

At times, the future can feel overwhelming. As we face escalating environmental crises, fear is often used to motivate action—but can hope offer a more powerful path forward?

A two-day interdisciplinary workshop at the University of York (30 June – 1 July) exploring how hope can be harnessed through creative methods to communicate environmental research in more inspiring and transformative ways.

Bringing together academics, writers, artists, educators, and performers, this event invites participants to reflect on how creative, hopeful approaches can nurture realistic, yet aspirational visions for life on a hotter, stormier, wetter, and drier planet.

Through storytelling, performance, visual arts, and cross-disciplinary collaboration, we will examine how hopeful narratives can support education, mental health, and action towards more just and sustainable futures.
