UPCOMING WORKSHOP: Futures Literacy Lab on Re-imagining Learning and Knowledge on Climate Change, Climate Action and Climate Justice [Online, 28 February 2022]
/
February 28 to March 2, 2022 (15:00 to 18:00 each day, Thailand time)
Co-designed by: The Center for Social Development Studies, Chulalongkorn University; and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
Join us for an online Future Literacy Lab for brainstorming and imaginative thinking on Climate Change, Climate Action and Climate Justice.
Futures Literacy is a capability and a skill, allowing us to better understand the role that the future plays in what we see and do. Futures Literacy is important because imagining the future is what generates hope and fear, sense-making and meaning. Through this lab, we can be empowered as students to appreciate the power and role of learning and knowledge and be equipped to explore its potential in re-shaping the paradigm of climate action and climate justice. We will address questions including: Do we need to rethink how we learn? Whose knowledge counts? How can knowledge and learning lead to action?
We encourage active, passionate students on Thai university programs who are concerned about climate change and climate justice to be a part of this Future Literacy Lab. Please apply here. The deadline for application is 17:00 on Friday February 18th.
The objectives of the Future Literacy Lab are:
To encourage greater responsibility and action among all actors through (un)learning current knowledge on climate change, and rethink learning and knowledge to make it more 'actionable' in practice
To explore innovative and inclusive approaches that rethink governance systems for ensuring climate justice, and determine what role learning and knowledge creation should play
To empower FLL participant's to act on climate change in creative and collective ways, and to build their awareness of how individual and collaborative action could address climate change, including towards achieving climate justice
Accepted participants must be available to join all three sessions. All participants in the Future Literacy Lab will receive Certificates of Participation.
Let’s come together to discover creative and sustainable climate solutions. It is time to test the power of collaborative and collective action between many actors including community organizations and individuals, global organizations, governments, private sectors, industry, researchers and academia.
The Future Literacy Lab is part of Chulalongkorn University’s Future Literacy Week (28 February to 4 March): Learn more here.
