“Connecting with Hope: Writing & Sharing Your Climate Change Story”

We’re pleased to offer a two-part tool, a fillable document and an accompanying video to help you create and share your own, short, climate-related story. It’s essential that we all be prepared to have conversations about how climate change is already affecting our everyday lives. It’s conversations that connect and persuade.

Whether you’re talking to people in your neighborhood, planning to share at a larger gathering, writing a letter to the editor, interested in sharing a video on social media, or preparing to have effective sound-bites for traditional media, this guide will give you a framework on which to build your story.

Connecting with Hope:  Writing Your Climate Story Organizer 

(Open & make a copy of this document so that you can easily draft your story in the fillable PDF.)

If you want some guidance & support as you work on your story, cue this 20 minute session video, which you can pause at any time. We’ll guide you along with a model of story development. Once you’ve finished your story and/or video, please share it with us:  educators@thirdact.org
