Coney are an acclaimed arts and social change charity, who are a group of artists, thinkers and makers on a mission to spark change through the power of play. Their participatory work is rooted in a practice called Playful Activism. If Activism is the use of direct and noticeable action to achieve a political or social result, Playful Activism infuses this action with play and creativity and, after a year of working Greenpeace on Playful Climate Activism, they will share a creative activism toolkit with UCL Staff and Students.
This event is organised by UCL Climate Activist Network and Coney Theatre, with funding from the Performing Planet Activism Seed Fund arranged by UCL Museums & Cultural Programmes.
You can expect to explore what activism can mean, what unique skills you can bring, the forming group connections & dynamics, system change through games and the use of art as a tool for impact.
