Forming a Cohesive Narrative of Community Collaboration

This event is part of a public follow-on workshop series tailing the 2026 Greater Victoria Climate Forum which brought together leaders from ~60 unique organizations doing climate / environment / sustainability work in the GVA.

This workshop brings together the different worldviews, value systems, and practical understandings of how we should move together amidst the uncertainty of the climate crisis (polycrisis). We will co-author a story of how we would like to collaborate as a climate community in the coming years; building resilience to the climate crisis at a bioregional level from both economic and social perspectives. Participants will take away:

• An expansion of the ideas put forward at the Climate Forum.
• An experiential dive into navigating different value systems through storytelling.
• An introduction into transformative scenario planning.
• A sense of tangible action and direction for the climate community.
