Yarra Council - Talking to children about the climate crisis
Should we try to shield our children from the reality of the climate crisis? How can we best respond to fears about the future? Should we support them when they want to join the school strike? These are among the questions that many parents and other adults have as the reality of climate change hits home.
Please join us for an informative discussion and Q&A with Professor Ann Sanson and two year 10 students exploring these issues.
Thursday 7 November, 6.30 - 8pm
Collingwood Town Hall, 140 Hoddle St, Abbotsford
Ann Sanson is a developmental psychologist whose research has focused on understanding social and emotional development from infancy to adulthood.
