This one hour or 30 minute presentation educates young people on the most important environmental issue the world is facing, global warming.

“Global Warming: Too Hot to Handle?” enables students to make positive changes in their lives (to reduce their energy use and carbon footprint), as well as enabling them to communicate with others the urgency of the need for action.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the presentation students will:

• Have an increased awareness and understanding of the most important environmental issue, global warming
• Have a range of options available to reduce their energy use
• Acquire resources to further their understanding of global warming

Testimonial

“We would like to thank Jane Genovese for her outstanding presentation. Our Year 9 students were thoroughly engaged and came away from the entertaining and informative ‘Global Warming: To Hot to Handle’ presentation better informed and motivated to act on their knowledge concerning this very important issue and how they can start to reduce their own environmental footprint.”

John Swindells
Head of Society & Environment, Irene McCormack Catholic College

“Thank you for coming to speak to the year 12 students about global warming. Your presentation, “Too Hot to Handle?” was excellent and I have had a lot of very positive feedback from students. They loved the power point pictures you have chosen and enjoyed the fact you are young and very much on their wavelength. You haven’t convinced them all, I’m afraid, but to get a group of year 12 students discussing climate change during their lunch time (which some did) is an indication of the impact you had. Congratulations. I would recommend your presentation to any school.”

Jill Hafekost, Head of year 12, St Brigids College

Changing the Dream Symposium

This half-day event involves dynamic group interactions, leading edge information, and inspiring multimedia to reconnect participants with their deep concern for our world, and empower them to make a difference.

Designed with the collaboration of some of the finest scientific, indigenous and activist minds in the world, the Symposium explores the current state of our planet from a new perspective, and connects participants with a powerful global movement to reclaim our future.

It is an exploration of four questions

Where Are We?: an examination of the state of environmental, social and personal well-being

How did We Get Here?: tracing the root causes that lead to our current imbalance

What’s Possible for the Future?: discovering new ways of relating with each other, with the Earth and looking at the emerging movement for change

Where Do We Go from Here?: considering the stand we want to be in the world and our personal and collective impact

If you are ready to be disturbed, inspired and moved to action, and to be introduced to a thriving community of committed cohorts, then join us in exploring the most critical concerns of our times, and discover new opportunities to make a real difference in accelerating the emergence of an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just human presence on this planet!
