Exploring Eco-emotions

​Anxious, angry, or hopeful about the state of our planet? What to do with those feelings?

​Eco-emotions are real, from anxiety to frustration to inspiration. We will explore why your eco-emotions matter and what they can tell you about your relationship with the people and environment around you. You will identify and name your feelings and be given the space to discuss your emotions with others (if you feel like it) in a local context, and discover ways to deal with these emotions and build resilience.

​The workshop is hosted by Ian, a local resident of The Hague who is active in the space of food, renewable energy, circular economy and rewilding and inspired by the Youth Environment Europe Yeghvard workshop he participated in back in May 2026.

​What to expect: a short introduction to eco-emotions, time with the Climate Emotions Wheel, a guided discussion circle, and practical coping strategies.

​Open to all, no prior knowledge needed. Spots are limited.

​If you can, bring something to drink or a snack to share (at least vegetarian).

​Participation: free, donations are much appreciated for covering housing costs :-)
