Join us for a dynamic, hands-on workshop featuring three inspiring changemakers pioneering alternative economic models for climate action, alongside three systems thinking experts, including a talented visual storyteller who will bring our conversation to life in real time on the big screen.
Together, we’ll engage in thought-provoking discussions and collaborative activities to sketch a live visual systems map of the climate crisis. This exercise will uncover the root causes, ripple effects, and complexities of the issue, highlighting where meaningful actions can drive real impact – both in Sydney and on a global level.
