Active Hope Training
4 online sessions: Tuesday 14, Wednesday 15, Tuesday 21 & Wednesday 22 September
9.30am – 12 midday each day
Through this 4-part workshop participants will engage with the process of “Active hope”, developed by environmental activist Joanna Macy. This process supports people who are engaged with global justice issues to continue to have hope and take action, while addressing the sometimes overwhelming feelings that arise. The workshop will be experiential, with opportunities to connect with yourself, and others in a supportive online environment. Participants will also gain tools and approaches that can be used both at a personal level, and with groups. Attendance at all 4 sessions is important as each will cover a different topic related to Active Hope.
The seminar will be facilitated by Chriszine Backhouse and Eimear McNally of Creativity & Change, a programme of Crawford College of Art & Design, that nurtures change-makers and supports people to imagine and create a better world. Through her teaching and practice, Chriszine explores the intersection between creativity, community and the environment. She has been involved in Active Hope restoration work since 2008. For the last four years, she has integrated this approach into the Creativity and Change programme at MTU, leading students and workshop participants through “the work that reconnects”. Eimear works as a facilitator in the field of creative activism and transformative learning where she uses visual facilitation to help groups explore complex global and local justice issues. She has been involved in Creativity & Change in various ways since 2009. She is a co-founder of the all-Ireland network of visual practitioners, Drawesome, and a member of the International Forum for Visual Practitioners.
Cost to attend all 4 sessions:
- IDEA members: €50.00
- Non-members: €100.00
