Connecting with Climate Change Through a Nature Experience
This hands-on workshop invites participants to connect climate knowledge with emotional awareness and everyday life through nature-based reflection and collaborative exercises. Rather than staying in abstract facts—or getting stuck in eco-anxiety—we will explore how climate change can be felt, understood, and responded to through the body, the senses, and shared conversation.
The session is led by Franchesca Spets, a primary school teacher and forest therapy guide, currently pursuing a Master’s in Environmental Psychology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). Her practice focuses on designing experiences that help people build a deeper emotional relationship with the natural world.
What you’ll do
Participants will move through a participatory flow of reflection, storytelling, and sensory activities:
Reflect on your current relationship with nature
Reimagine personal and collective “narratives with nature” through storytelling
Engage in a sensory activity with plants (touch, observation, presence) to make climate knowledge tangible
Explore eco-anxiety and learn simple nature-based practices for emotional regulation and resilience
Co-create small “micro-habits” that blend wellbeing and climate care—turning awareness into everyday action
Workshop language: English
Who is it for?
For citizens curious about climate change who want to move from information overload or eco-anxiety toward a grounded, hopeful connection with the Earth—no prior knowledge required.
