[.lightbox] CLIMATE LAB [.lightbox]

[.lightbox]The Climate Lab, organized by ActionAid Denmark, focused on climate justice. It highlighted how climate change has historically been driven by the world's wealthiest and most privileged, while younger generations, the poor, and the most vulnerable bear the brunt of the crisis. The lab addressed climate anxiety and educated participants on climate injustice and activism opportunities. Its aim was to create a climate protest using simple choreography and climate slogans for future activism. DJ Claudia Smith from Future Female Sounds guided participants from climate fear to hope and action through storytelling, humor, and movement.[.lightbox]

[.lightbox] POETIC JUSTICE LAB [.lightbox]

[.lightbox] We have been working on it since 2020 CISU-supported project Pieces for Palestine, which will also be present at the RE:ACT festival. Poetic Justice Lab is a workshop based on storytelling and protest graffiti to promote citizenship and put Palestine in the spotlight. The Poetic Justice Lab believes that creative forms of expression can help illuminate the complex situation and history linked to Palestine, and participants learn to ask sharply the question of the role of the international community in the conflict. In the workshop, participants will get a nuanced picture of Palestine today and an entrance to contribute to positive change through creative formats such as urban art, poetry slam, spoken word and rap.

[.lightbox] CLIMATE LAB [.lightbox]

[.lightbox] The Climate Lab theme, which Inter-People Cooperation stands for, is climate justice. Our world is entering a global climate crisis with devastating effects already being felt across the globe. Floods, wildfires, droughts and violent weather are sending millions of people fleeing. Climate change has historically been driven by the world's richest and most privileged people, but it is the young, the poor and the most vulnerable who are hardest hit by the climate crisis, both in Denmark and around the world. The climate crisis reinforces all the inequality between people we already know. The young generation have grown up with the climate crisis and have to deal with it for the rest of their lives. This can lead to climate anxiety. At the same time, young people are largely excluded from both local and global decision-making processes. At Climate Lab, participants learn about the climate crisis, injustice and activism, and join the front lines of the youth climate rebellion. Together, participants work their way from climate fear to hope and action through storytelling, humor and movement. The purpose of Climate Lab is to create climate policy protest through a simple choreography and a series of climate slogans that can be used for climate activism - both at RE:ACT and in the future.
