In this workshop, Elin Kelsey will help participants explore solutions enabling us to support kids to move beyond the eco-anxiety and disempowerment of doom and gloom towards meaningful engagement.

Her newest book for adults, Hope Matters: Why Changing the Way We Think Is Critical For Solving The Environmental Crisis was published by Greystone Books in 2020. Her influence can be seen in the hopeful, solutions-focus of her clients, including the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and other powerful institutions where she has served as a visiting fellow including the Rachel Carson Center for the Environment and Society, the Rockefeller Foundation, and Stanford University in the Graduate School of Education.

In 2022, she took up a Kone Foundation Fellowship to work with climate science researchers, the Climate and Environmental Communication Science Association and children’s book writers in Finland on the Developing Climate Change Communication with Emotional Awareness project. Her contribution to climate advocacy and activism through evidence-based hope resulted in her selection as a 2020 finalist in the Canadian Nature Inspiration Awards.
