**WHEN & WHERE** * 18:15 \| Wednesday \| 28 October * Codebase \| 37 Castle Terrace \| Edinburgh \| EH1 2EL **ABOUT THE SESSION** Most of us have a relationship with climate change that we don't talk about much. For some that's worry, sadness, fear, a low hum of dread or a feeling of powerlessness. For others it might be a sense of irritation at being lectured, at the cost of it all, at the gap between what we're told to do and what actually seems to change. Plenty more are just tired of hearing about it, and would rather get on with their lives. And a lot of us feel two or three of those at once. Whatever it is, we rarely say it out loud, least of all in more open spaces. So, this month at People Peeps, we're doing something a bit different.

It'll be about us, how we feel about climate change and how we can help each other. We’ll explore: * How the film made us feel as individuals and what we noticed in ourselves while watching in, * How we might be able to connect with and support others, whether they have similar or different responses to our own * What we might do differently or do next as a result of these reflections There's no panel and no pressure. You don't need to know anything about climate to come, we’ll limit the group size and have most of our conversations in smaller breakouts where everyone will have the chance to share. Every response is welcome, and we mean that. "This frightens me" is welcome. So is "I’m exhausted by this", “I’m angry”, "I'm sick of being made to feel guilty" or "I'd honestly rather not think about it". Our conversations will be about how we
