climate fiction writing party (online event)

​Happy Earth Month, friends! 🌍 What's a better way to begin our celebration than to step into the future and imagine the world you want to live in!

​Inspired by Grist's Imagine 2200 Climate Fiction Initiative, we are welcoming you to write your own climate fiction story, with special guest Tory Stephens who leads Grist's Climate Fiction program!

​In this interactive workshop, participants will co-create a climate fiction story that brings hopeful, sustainable futures to life. Working in small groups, you’ll take turns building a shared narrative!

​Here's what to expect

• ​💜 CONNECT: Kick things off with a fun, low-pressure prompt to spark creativity and get everyone thinking about their vision for the future

• ​📚 LEARN: Get a short introduction to climate fiction, including a story excerpt to ground us in what’s possible when imagination meets climate reality

• ​💥 ACTION: Collaborate in small groups to co-create your own climate fiction story

• ​☁️ REFLECT: Come back together to share insights, themes, and what these imagined futures reveal about the actions we can take today

​Everyone is welcome and no writing experienced is need! We welcome your curiosity <3
