Climate Activism through Writing for the Public
In this workshop, the speaker offers an overview of nearly 20 letters to the editor published by him or his students in the
South China Morning Post focusing on climate changes and environmental issues. A number of strategies for identifying
the topics, doing research and developing arguments are then identified and presented with some hands-on activities for
students to practice these skills. Participants also learn how to engage the government, the Legislative Council and the
wider community on climate issues in Hong Kong.
