Green Tease: Climate migration, culture and the role of storytelling

June 18, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Free

This Green Tease event is about climate-induced migration and the role of culture and art in achieving climate justice. It takes place as a part of the Festival of Migration 2023.

At the event, you can learn about how climate change drives migration and displacement in Zambia and Bangladesh, and hear a talk by Rahmina Paullete, a climate activist who has experienced climate migration firsthand.

Also meet the people behind the project, “Breaking the 4th Wall of Climate Migration”, who will speak about their work with digital storytelling in raising awareness about the devastating consequences of climate change on communities in the Horn of Africa in Scottish classrooms.

Following the talks, there will be time for discussions and networking with the aim of exploring the links between the art, culture and climate sector in working on climate-related migration. It is free to participate.
