Join the local climate action group Planet South Bank for an evening exploring their most recent project: How We Made It Through. They will walk us through the community creative writing project that invited citizens of the South Bank area to picture their neighbourhood in the future, having successfully made it to the other side of the 21st century polycrisis. Relevant to anyone interested in hope and fiction as tools of social change, the workshop will include an invitation to try your own hand at some 'Thrutopian’ fiction-writing.
Planet South Bank is an entirely volunteer-run group with the mission of building a resilient, resourceful, and connected community in the South Bank area of York. They run a range of events and socials that include foraging walks, street recycles, and open gardening sessions at their community garden just off Bishy Road.
This event will be held in the wonderful Tree House venue (BS/104 Meeting Room) in the Berrick Saul building on York University Campus West. The Tree House is accessible via stairs and lift.
This event has been organised as part of the Seeds of Hope & Action exhibition, running from 12 to 16 May 2025 at York University.
