A big congratulations to Caroline Stampliaka who just received a Climate Storytelling Fellowship!
The fellowship is part of “Communicating Climate Hope 2024”, a two-day distributed/hybrid conference, co-hosted and co-located at UBC in Vancouver and Tilburg University (TiU) in the Netherlands (August 15-16, 2024).
The Climate Storytelling Fellowship cohort include students from both host institutions. Fellows will learn about the power of climate storytelling and develop skills for conducting ethnographic interviews and producing impactful digital artifacts, such as a podcast series and short video documentaries. Participants at UBC and TiU will collaborate on a multimedia project featuring the climate stories of presenters and organizers of the Communicating Climate Hope conference. Digital artifacts from the project will be published on the conference website and presented live at the conference in August 2024.
Fellowship participants will receive free admission to the conference and affiliated events (e.g. conference dinner), and will be given an opportunity to present their experiences and final digital artifacts to conference attendees.
“Receiving the Climate Hope Storytelling Fellowship is an honour that fuels my passion for environmental advocacy. Through ethnographic interviews with people affected by climate change, I aim to give voice to their struggles and resilience while raising awareness about the impacts on ecosystems and communities, hopefully catalyzing action for a sustainable future.” — Caroline Stampliaka
Stampliaka is currently finishing up her BA (Honours) in Anthropology and has been accepted into the MA program. She hopes to specialize in environmental anthropology while always upholding the principles of climate justice.
