Abstract
This project is structured in two main parts: my exploration of the academic literature around eco-anxiety and mental health and a brief overview of my process to create the toolkit, and the toolkit itself. The toolkit follows the reference section and has its own multiple appendices. Most users of the toolkit will access it through a shared Google doc where hyperlinks provide easy access to the appendices and external resources (e.g., slideshow template and workback calendar). The toolkit will continue to evolve and what is captured here is a snapshot of the toolkit at the moment. For anyone interested in accessing the most up-to-date toolkit, please visit youthimaginethefuture.com.
Description
This project provides a toolkit to support the delivery of a climate-focused arts festival for youth. By asking youth to imagine a future with less reliance on fossil fuels and increased focus on nature-based solutions to the climate crisis, the proposed festival aims to help mitigate some of the negative effects of eco-anxiety on mental health.
