Through his communications and media work, Jamie has lots of experience crafting climate stories. With his expertise to help guide us, this workshop will help us think about how to best shape and share our own stories of meaningful change. Stories are key to any social movement or shifts in hearts and minds. Come and practice finding ways to promote your work that will not only give voice and recognition to you and the hardworking folks involved in your project, but, when shared, can also inspire additional climate actions to amplify your impact.
About the speaker:
Jamie Henn is the founder and director of Fossil Free Media, a nonprofit media lab that supports the movement to end fossil fuels. Fossil Free Media is the home of Clean Creatives, a campaign pressuring public relations and advertising agencies to quit working with fossil fuel companies to spread climate disinformation.
