Radical Hope in Practice

How can we nurture imagination, courage, and agency when the future is uncertain? Join an intergenerational and globally diverse group of educators, students, and community members for an engaging, participatory session where radical hope becomes shared practice. This event welcomes all who care about climate, ocean, and social justice education or seek ways to transform uncertainty into possibility.
Through storytelling, creative collaboration, and open dialogue, participants will explore real life tensions and moments when taking action—small or large—helped create new outcomes. You’ll connect across generations and backgrounds to identify practical insights on leading change, locally and globally, even when the path forward is unclear. Enjoy inclusive discussion, creative activities with art and metaphor, and a supportive learning community committed to co-creating hopeful futures.
Whether you are a middle or high school student, educator, parent, or community member, your perspective matters. Come prepared to listen, imagine, and contribute in your own way. Leave replenished with radical hope, new connections across ages and borders, and meaningful ideas for stewarding change in uncertain times.
