3 days together to make sense of the defining crisis of our time.

Too often, the environmental crisis feels abstract and overwhelming. The Week is a way to engage this issue, for real, with our friends, family or colleagues. It doesn’t tell us what to do, but empowers us to make up our own minds. 

The Week is shaped like a “U”. Episode 1 is the hard one where we go down the “U” and look straight at what’s coming, without blinking. In episode 2, we make sense of it all. And episode 3 gets us up the “U”, it’s empowering and inspiring.

Register here is you are interested in participating in all the 3 sessions taking place between 12 pm to 1:30 pm on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
