18:00 – 20:00 Workshop „Climate Café“: Facing facts about climate change and human failures in dealing with it is burdensome. It might cause a range of difficult emotions such as anxiety, anger or despair. It might make us feel helpless, and when involved in the climate activism or working in the associated fields, these emotions can cause a burnout and a loss of motivation to continue. But in the time of uncertainty, one thing is sure – we don´t need to be alone in it. So let´s gather to explore our feelings and thoughts on this difficult topic, to hear and support each other over a cup of tea or coffee. Hosted by: Aleksandra Mikić (psychologist)
