Cultural production often places a heavy burden on the environment. We desperately need to make sustainability central to the decision-making process when it comes to energy use, travel, buildings and so on, and will be sharing best practices for doing so. As arts educators, we should also reflect on how we can increase awareness surrounding the connection between culture and nature. We will explore new and forgotten/marginalized ways to think about caring for people and the planet within our cultural practices, thereby, challenging the ‘extractivist logic that is leading us towards a climate crisis.
