Climate Network Lanark invites you to attend this curated series of three evening dialogues to deepen your understanding of one of the most consequential issues of our time, in conversation with neighbours and friends.
An Experimental Approach – These Climate Dialogues will draw on a cross-cutting selection of YouTube, podcast style interviews as rich raw material. The distinctive in these sessions will be the meaningful dialogue amongst participants. Scott Hortop will be the relaxed and friendly facilitator.
What to expect: Each session will collectively watch one ~70 minute video with discussion following. Participants are encouraged to ask for a pause of the YouTube to make comments to the group or raise questions for dialogue. . We hope to combine the powerful content of YouTube interviews with the extraordinary rewards of in-person dialogue.
