Understanding XR’s Story Workshop

It is the stories that we believe in, and tell ourselves, that drive the choices we make and how we act. This workshop explores what the story is that XR is trying to say. How we share our message is crucial to encourage more people to support and join the movement. This workshop will help you to talk to people on street, your friends and family about XR and the climate emergency, as well as messaging that can reach out to the wider public.

This workshop is hosted on zoom. It is 2hrs long and includes breaks.
