RMIT is large and the impact of 2019 fires, covid, loss of the Voice, and global affairs / climate seem to be compounding a sense of anxiety and relative helplessness

In our storying research with young people around meaningful recognition, many expressed climate anxiety elevated by the school as content does not feel relevant to coping or living among the climate crisis

teachers incorporate the topics into their teaching quite often

I became concerned about this when I was at school. Not much has changed. I do not feel hopeful moving forward especially with the recent election in the US

After some PD I feel as though we can make change and begin to shift the dial. We need key drivers in micro communities to facilitate anchor-points and action-points for our kids.

Especially among emergent generations, as even though many have experienced or witness the effects of the climate crisis, they are paralysed by survivor complex. They are hopeful and wanting to contribute to our futur.

I feel hopeful when I see the incredible groundswell of people and orgs working on solutions. There are so many examples of positive change out there—we just don’t see them while we’re doomscrolling. Doom and gloom sells and they are the main headlines
