In this practical small group session Jane Rawson and Natalie Kyriacou will share how they approach the task of writing about our world in this climate change age. How do they try to reach people with their words? How do they look after themselves while doing it? Jane has a wealth of experience writing on this topic across many formats. In 2015 she released The Handbook: Surviving & Living with Climate Change and, after having tackled many other books and writing projects, has recently released Human/Nature. Natalie, author of Nature’s Last Dance, is an environmentalist, social justice advocate and social entrepreneur who aims to inspire action with her words. This is a session for those keen to write about our natural world, environmental issues and climate change, and have impact. Facilitated by writer, tsunami scientist, and lover of all things ocean, Kaya Wilson.
