“This workshop facilitation pack outlines the premise, format and resources we drew upon for the ‘We need to talk about Climate Change’ workshop at the Manchester Museum, Manchester, UK, on 7 April 2017. The aim of this workshop was to come together to explore existing heritage sector practices; share new approaches to engagement and communication around climate change; and to help forge positive connections and modes of collaboration. For example, learning tools (like this facilitation guide) were requested by participants so they might initiate/animate conversations with their own audiences.”
