WCCI Brings climate education to the community…

“We don’t use hotels, we take our meetings to the community, or we lose people in time and in transport. Meetings in open spaces make the community curious, when they see a meeting under a tree, they want to know what is being discussed and they join in.”

WCCI is adept at relating complex concepts, such as climate change, to rural communities and making that information relevant to their lives. For example, storytelling remains a widely used and valuable tool for sharing knowledge and experience around weather and climate issues, and helps present information in an accessible and easy to understand way. WCCI also educates through a community dialogue model. This is an open process engaging different parts of the community through a staged discussion on how the community wants to respond to the challenges it faces.
