Seeds of Hope: a climate storytelling podcast
When we hear the word climate, it can stir fear, grief, and uncertainty. Yet across Victoria, BC and beyond, youth are turning concern into action, from creating space for expression through performative and visual arts to nourishing community by providing access to locally-grown food. These changemakers remind us of the many ways climate shapes our past, present, and future. Join host Claire Marshall as they hear stories and discover why there is hope in building a greater tomorrow!
Seeds of Hope is produced by The Starfish Canada with support from a TELUS STORYHIVE grant.
