Sign up for free online climate workshops taught by high school students over February break covering a range of topics in an engaging, interactive way with many games, unique activities and time for discussions and questions.
The workshop starts off by giving a basic overview of what redlining was and how it negatively affected people. We watch a short video, do a quick map game, an interactive news activity and play an original redlining + climate change game of life to better understand how redlining relates to environmental, racial and socioeconomic issues. This lesson focuses on how the practice of redlining affects people today with the additional impact of climate change. The workshop finishes off with a debrief and action steps.
