In Module 3, we will start to generate ideas and actions that we can all take to decolonise our climate movements - whether we are employed in climate organisations, grassroots activists within the movement, or individually in our own personal activism and change-making practice.
Deeply understanding our own positions, and incorporating a deep practice of exploring our positionality is foundational in determining what actions we can take, and how we can most effectively and appropriately take action on climate change.
Following on from our Positionality session with Haylee Koroi in Workshop 2, we encourage you to spend some time delving deeper into your own positionality and whakapapa (genealogy - both in terms of ancestry, but also what has brought you to this place, and to this work). You can now access an extended Positionality Activity Sheet on the Module 2 page, or at the button below. This includes two activities for you to further reflect on your positionality, including some additional prompts to the discussion questions from Workshop 2.
While exploring our positionality should be an ongoing reflective practice, so it is not something you can “complete” in one sitting - we encourage all participants to take a look at this activity sheet, and spend what time you can reflecting on the questions in preparation for Workshop 3 next week.
We hope you find this sheet useful, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
