This hands-on workshop invites participants to connect climate knowledge with emotional awareness and everyday life through nature-based reflection and collaborative exercises. Rather than staying in abstract facts—or getting stuck in eco-anxiety—we will explore how climate change can be felt, understood, and responded to through the body, the senses, and shared conversation.

​The session is led by Franchesca Spets, a primary school teacher and forest therapy guide, currently pursuing a Master’s in Environmental Psychology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). Her practice focuses on designing experiences that help people build a deeper emotional relationship with the natural world.

​What you’ll do

​Participants will move through a participatory flow of reflection, storytelling, and sensory activities:

• ​Reflect on your current relationship with nature
• ​Reimagine personal and collective “narratives with nature” through storytelling
• ​Engage in a sensory activity with plants (touch, observation, presence) to make climate knowledge tangible
• ​Explore eco-anxiety and learn simple nature-based practices for emotional regulation and resilience
• ​Co-create small “micro-habits” that blend wellbeing and climate care—turning awareness into everyday action

​Workshop language: English

​Who is it for? ​For citizens curious about climate change who want to move from information overload or eco-anxiety toward a grounded, hopeful connection with the Earth—no prior knowledge required.
