What are you hoping COP15 will achieve?
I hope we create a tipping point of political, social, and cultural will that allows us to fully engage the climate crisis and the bold, radical steps it's going to take to get us to a place of safety and sustainability.
Are you involved in an event that relates to COP15?
Yes
If your answer to the above is yes, what do you hope your audience will take from your event?
I hope they take - imbibe, really - enough hope and energy and sense of possibility that they can go back to their lives of policy or activism or civic engagement rejuvenated and ready to make positive change.
What do you think is the role of the arts in tackling climate change?
1) Crafting a clearly articulated vision of a positive future.
2) Lifting people up when they're feeling overwhelmed.
3) Acknowledging the emotional impact of living on a planet in peril.
4) Building creativity and celebration into the work of confronting the climate crisis.
... are you interested in distributing any material about COP15 and climate campaigning groups in your area to your audiences?
Absolutely.

Hi Kathryn,

thanks for your note. The show looks great. I won't be able to make it on the 10th..
5th is a bit difficult, not sure what is happening yet. What is your email? My personal one is h@yley.info, drop me a line.

Best,

Hayley

Hi Kathryn

I think what you wrote on your profile is great, and the work you're doing. Funny that we both picked up on the Lysistrata story! I've often wondered what would happen if women organised themselves enough to make a stand against, e.g. domestic violence worldwide...

I run The Red Tent (Heart of England) a group for all women. The website might interest you: http://redtentengland.ning.com. You can also find me on the USA sister website http://www.redtentwomensproject.org. Or maybe that's where you found me...

All the best with your initiatives,
Jan Tchamani
