We had a superb turnout and discussion following a screening with PEYA, the Peel Environmental Youth Alliance, linking environmental injustice, climate change, the scale and speed of solutions needed, and the need to support our youth around the world in taking bold action. This event was hosted by PEYA and the University of Toronto Mississauga, at UofT Mississauga campus, with Director Kai Reimer-Watts in attendance. Big thank you to the youth at PEYA for contributing your own powerful insights to this open panel discussion! Jan 31, 2020. #SafeClimateFuture
The grade 7/8 students at Parkview Public School invited Beyond Crisis out for an incredible day-long event for climate action on May 31, 2019. This included a facilitated workshop exploring the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and what a future world could look like if the best elements of these were implemented by 2030 - as well as an evening screening of Beyond Crisis attended by local community, school board trustees, parents, and of course the students of Parkview - who were also able to show off some of their own environmental films at this event. Attendees also filled out a pledge to fight climate change, making a clear personal commitment before leaving the event. Big thank you to Parkview and the WaterDocs Film Festival for hosting this!

The Beyond Crisis team hosted interactive climate story creation workshops as part of SCI Earth Day at the University of Waterloo, March 26, 2019. Using stills from the film, participants chose images that resonated most with them to build a personal climate story around to then share with others. The results were quite powerful, engaging a broad diversity of students in discovering their own climate stories, agency, and solutions.
Screening and panel discussion hosted by Green Screen Ottawa on December 16, 2018 at Mayfair Theatre (Ottawa, Canada). The panelists included a local interviewee and climate scientist Dr. Paul Beckwith who appeared in the film (speaking on right) who shared some powerful information about climate change and what we can do to address it, along with Vi Bui from Ecology Ottawa, Jennifer Stelzer from EnviroCentre and Waheed Khan from PIPSC (PIPSC stands for the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, whose Union Ottawa West Branch co-hosted the screening). Participants were also encouraged to fill out their own Climate Action Pledge to help translate the film's momentum into action.

Watching the sun set and the atmosphere change all around us while contemplating the many diverse challenges of climate change was a perfect venue for this community screening event hosted by Ecologos / Water Docs, September 22, 2018 at the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant by Lake Ontario, Toronto. We put together this brief video in celebration of this beautiful community event - a true inspiration for other events to follow, embedding us into the global climate system through our environment, with community storytelling to encourage transformation. We hope it inspires many others! A blog post reflection on this event can be found here
Community screening of Beyond Crisis in Panjim, Goa, India. This event was designed to coincide with the Rise For Climate movement's global day of action September 8th, 2018, and was followed by a feedback circle and engaging discussion on how participants could contribute in their own ways to fighting climate change.
On July 5th, 2018 we attended the Climate Rally: 80 by 50 event in Cambridge, ON, celebrating the targets unanimously approved in Waterloo Region to implement an 80% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target by 2050.
As part of this event we hosted a storytelling exercise where participants selected 5 still images from the film, to tell their own story on climate change. This group exercise was highly powerful, allowing a wide range of new, more personalized stories to surface. It's up to us to make sure these targets now translate into action - thank you to everyone for coming out to help make that happen. All photos from this credit Basak Topcu.
