Join plant-thinker and scientist Dr Emily May Armstrong on a journey through identity, nature, and plant-thinking.
About
In this three-part participatory workshop we'll be learning about genetics and identity; we'll be exploring the science behind why time in nature feels so good; and we'll be learning ways to think collectively and organise like a plant. At the end of the workshop, we'll work together to create a collage poem inspired by what we've all learnt and experienced, facilitated by our current artist in residence Hussein Mitha.
Each session will last for 20 minutes followed by a 20 minute collaborative group conversation, with breaks for tea, coffee and general chat! Plant Thinking is a three hour workshop which will get us thinking about our place in nature and how to embrace our similarities and differences for collective goals, all while learning to think collaboratively in our communities.
This workshop is free to take part in and will be taking place in Square Deal, 22 The Square, Huntly. Square Deal is a fully accessible venue, but if you have any specific requirements or questions, please let us know at info@deveron-projects.com.

About the project
This workshop is a part of The World is Ours, In Spite of All, a project with artist and educator Hussein Mitha. The project explores how young people can be involved in reversing climate change, considering education and its challenges in a time of climate emergency, with an aim to cultivate an ethos of inspiration, cooperation, connection and solidarity to rise to those challenges.
