Rethink, Reconnect Climate Action and Social Justice – it´s time to listen!22.06.2022

Country: Sweden and Germany
Implemented by Med Dialogue Fellow: Julia ECKERT & Matteo ZAMPATTI
Organization: Educational organisation for social and environmental regeneration ReLearn, Forum ViA- Visions in Action, Thyme, and Ghost
Duration: 15/03/2022 - 30/04/2022

This action is about increasing the presence of the indigenous people’s perspective in the climate discussions in Sweden by giving them a platform and spreading their messages and raising awareness of their current situation and historical status and its connection to the climate crisis. This will be done through the co-creation of teaching materials with the indigenous Sámi people of Sweden, and prototyping a critical-thinking workshop for the more than 100 facilitators and teachers within the field of climate education.

Key Activities:
  • Conducting several interviews during the days of the action to provide various perspectives on the topic. The interviews target researchers, artists, and activists’ groups of Sami background.
  • Implementing a social media campaign in line with the topic of the action and advertising the content that was created.
  • Connecting all the materials from the interview and other data collection methods and designing a workshop format that can be used as a template/framework in different environments.
  • Testing the workshop in different environments such as the activist scene of Malmo, the Uppsala University in Gotland, and the online space of the Forum ViA.
