Join your fellow framers in this interactive session to kick off NNOCCI week! You'll meet other network members from around the country, receive a welcome from NNOCCI's leadership, and learn about network happenings and how to get involved!
Join us for an uplifting hour during NNOCCI week as fellow members, recently trained and experienced alike, share their climate stories from around the country. We’ll screen climate stories shared by practitioners in the field and then break out into groups to discuss and provide glows and grows. Come be inspired by your fellow framers stories!
Join a panel of young climate activists to hear what sparked their passion in the climate movement. We’ll share strategies and brainstorm possibilities for how we and our organizations might better engage young people in climate work.
In this interactive, 90-minute session, we will explore ways to bring genuine, energizing lightness to the heavy topic of climate change. We will focus on zooming in and out of a situation, as well as using every day experiences, to illuminate key dynamics of important issues. And we will belly laugh.
The session is led by Belina Raffy, creator of the climate comedy course Sustainable Stand Up. The Sustainable Stand Up course has been running for over 9 years online and in 10 countries. Past alumni include a NASA climate scientist, several humanitarian workers, environmental phd students, CSR consultants, two sustainable transport experts, and many more.
Founded during the Reconstruction era in the late 1860s, Louisiana’s Freedpeople’s communities have been sites of collective resilience and inclusive development for a century and a half. Collective resources like benevolent associations, schools, and churches were community infrastructures for surviving and thriving amidst waves of post-Reconstruction racial exclusion.
These institutions notably gave rise to the grassroots environmental justice movement in the mid to late twentieth century.
Today, residents in these communities draw on these institutions and cultural traditions to articulate a vision of inclusive resilience planning for protection in the present and future.
This Toolkit helps communicators explore people-centered connections to climate change, using a three-step process to develop engaging, site-relevant stories that move audiences to awareness and action. An accompanying worksheet helps interpreters implement the three-step approach. Although developed for National Park Service employees, interpreters and communicators from other organizations may find History and Hope equally useful.
Participants will practice how to effectively use bridging and pivoting to navigate challenging conversations and shape public understanding. Whether you need some practice flexing those framing muscles, or are new to bridging and pivoting, this session is for you!
Join game designer Alix Dvorak and NNOCCI member Lisa Yeager in playing an online version of Green House - a cooperative game that focuses on real-life climate solutions.
You'll have the option of observing or jumping into the game play during this session. Either way, you'll experience the game first hand, and hear how it's being used in the heart of climate training for volunteer informal educators at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo.
Join us to hear about the positive actions and policies that are providing the hope we need to create impactful climate conversations and climate action around the world.
Adam Ratner, Director of Conservation Engagement at The Marine Mammal Center, will present the latest inspiring news followed by an interactive share-out for participants to contribute more hopeful actions as NNOCCI looks to catalog climate actions that can be used in future communications and resources.
