York's Global Majority storytellers share powerful, lived experiences of climate change and ecological resilience in this unique event.
About this Event

What happens when personal stories meet the climate crisis? They spark connection, challenge perspectives and inspire action.

Enjoy a unique event where storytellers from the Global Majority - who live, study or work in York - take centre stage to share their experiences with climate change, ecological shifts and resilience.

After two sell out years and back by popular demand, we’re delighted Beyond Borders is moving from town to the University of York campus as part of the Festival of Ideas. Storytellers from our inaugural cohort last year and this year’s group will take to the stage to share their climate stories. Crafted across a number of weeks, we’ll hear stories from India, Indonesia, Mexico and Mongolia.

A historian, Yuval Noah Harari, once said that humanity evolves through stories. It inspired me to explore my own story and peer into my own evolution…sharing my story on stage was one of the most powerful and empowering moments in my life.” – Tia, storyteller
