Climate Stories Project
Climate Stories Project is an educational and artistic forum for sharing personal stories about the changing climate. Sharing your climate story helps build an inclusive and effective movement to confront the climate crisis.
We facilitate climate storytelling workshops for organizations, communities, and schools! Please visit the workshop page for more details.
We are currently seeking K-12 and university educators to collaborate with us as we develop educational curriculum modules based on the Climate Stories Project format! Please contact us if you are interested or would like more details.

As an Ambassador, you'll record your own climate story and record 1-3 climate story interviews with people in your own community during a 6-week time span.
