We have so far spoken about four of our five project dimensions – “we walk”, “we listen” (research), “we talk” (education), “we create” (media-art) -, but not explicitly about mobilizing and getting people together for a common cause! For what we term “connActing” people, that is bringing people together through an emancipatory agenda, we need two particular things.

First, we need to be able to reach an audience, to communicate Climate Change and the Climate Crisis. For dealing with this issue, we have invited two speakers elaborating on the issue of how to communicate the Climate Crisis in a meaningful way. The second part of this class is dedicated to speakers sketching out approaches for overcoming and dealing with the Climate Crisis. Here, we will talk about prospects of aocio-ecological transformation, about what makes the imperial mode of living so persisent, and about how to fight for of a good life for all.

Session 1 (16.45-18.15):
  • Lecture 1: Andreas Scherlofsky (University of Vienna): tba
  • Lecture 2: Gabriel Baunach (Climaware): Climate Change Communication: How (not) to speak about the climate crisis!

Session 2 (18.30-20.00):
  • Panel Discussion “Climate Crisis and the Socio-Ecological Transformation” (with)
Ulrich Brand (University of Vienna), Manuel Grebenjak (Stay Grounded Campaigner), Camila Moreno (HU Berlin)
