Stories on Fire: Sharing Lived Experiences with Climate Change

Learn how to share your personal experiences with fire, smoke, and climate change.


In this two-day workshop, the editors of the University of Victoria's Climate Disaster Project will teach you the trauma-informed process to create powerful first-person testimonies from fellowparticipants' experiences of climate change.

Past testimonies have been published by Reader's Digest, the Royal BC Museum, and The Tyee, and interviews from this workshop may be shared by similar publications and organizations.

Through learning how to compassionately listen to other people's stories and telling them, you can help show the world that climate change isn't something that's far away. Instead, it's somethingclose at hand that's affecting each of us in countless ways: from the smoke that keeps us indoors during the summer to the blazes that have taken so many homes away.
