As a member of Pseudocity Press and Workshops (I took over from Leif Ahnland), I was part of a cooperative called Artists for Climate Change. Led by Norfolk County Council, it was awarded the London 2012 Inspire Mark for Sustainability. The Artists for Climate Change initiative aims to support county carbon reduction targets, and to make sustainable lifestyles seem both achievable and desirable.
Local artists created a range of creative learning programmes designed to excite children and young people's imagination and understanding around issues of climate change and sustainability.
How does it work? Edgar Allan Poe took scientific ideas to their extreme and created horror stories.
Creative writing is a brilliant medium for better understanding climate change. It can be used, for example, to really explore the potential effects of climate change. Try writing a story involving making a cup of tea in a world where flooding has salinated most of the water and there are major power shortages.
I am always happy to deliver the projects I created for this scheme (see the other links under this tab). If your group or school is interested, then just fill in the form below.
