The workshops run for 70 minutes.

FRAME THE DEBATE: speak your climate-friendly narrative

We often hear or talk about 'framing' a debate, discussion or
discourse. The global warming sceptics have used framing well with the
use of terms and phrases such as 'clean coal' or 'it costs too much to
pay for the environment' or 'its China?s fault'.

This workshop gives practical tools for:

*  Revealing sceptical frames;
*  Responding to sceptical frames (and keeping your cool); and
*  Constructing your own climate-friendly frames and narratives based on speaking progressive values.

This is a shortened version of a successful one-day workshop that
helps climate action groups to talk about what they're on about and
where they're coming from. It brings together insights from cognitive
linguistics and social psychology to form subtle but powerful tools for
communicating a climate-friendly narrative to people everywhere.
