IN CONVERSATION - How Media Builds a Love of Nature, Culture, and Community

Registration is FREE and open to all. Priority will be given to those active in climate work from most impacted communities.

Curated by PBS NATURE, this session explores how public-media storytelling can help audiences deepen their connections—to one another, to place, and to the living world. Through narratives grounded in relationship, responsibility, and reciprocity, participants will consider how media can cultivate curiosity, care, and the collective imagination needed for a more regenerative future.

Join a family-friendly conversation with:

• Maggie Baird, Founder and President, Support + Feed, Host of WETA's Climate Kitchen
• Ana González, Senior Producer, Terrestrials, Radiolab for Kids, WNYC Studios
• Sal Perez, Vice President and Executive Producer, Sesame Street Productions, Sesame Workshop
• Sophie Shrand, Creator and Host, Science With Sophie and Sophie's Great American ELECTRIC Road Trip on PBS NATURE
• Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant, Host, PBS NATURE’s Going Wild podcast and Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom on NBC.

Kids and families are welcome! The conversation will include musical interludes and art activities.
