Speaker: Laÿna Droz
Abstract
Many people experience overwhelming emotions in view of the environmental crisis, including sustainability students and professionals. Teaching about knowledge and methodologies needs to be associated with sharing tools to face these difficult emotions. One way is to share coping strategies for eco-anxiety and ecological grief. This can help build collective ecological emotional resilience by cultivating feelings of connectedness and hope, together with students and practitioners.
