In the lead up to COP27 UN Climate Change Conference in Egypt, join us in ‘Reading for change’: We Still Have a Chance at MakeTank on 9 November from 5:30 to 6:30pm. Reading has the power to change how we think and act, as Gill Rye’s Reading for Change book illustrates. We Still Have a Chance: 12 Stories for 12 Days of COP27 was co-created by scientists, health professionals, activists, artists, and storytellers from Exeter and Egypt. The stories will be told in English and in Arabic.
Speakers from the University of Exeter and the Met Office will engage with the audience, discuss how these stories are coming to life through translation and reflect on how storytelling can bring us together and offer solutions to the climate and health emergency. A beautiful graffiti artwork on wood inspired by the stories and produced by artist Steve McCracken will also be on display.
This event is part of the 12 Stories for 12 Days of COP27 project led by Dr Eliana Maestri from the University of Exeter and is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
