Future School
September 30th - November 4th.A workshop series on climate solutions for Los Angeles.
ABOUT THE COURSEFuture School is a free, 6-week virtual workshop series bringing Angelenos together to learn about local climate solutions, connect with community, and take action for more resilient neighborhoods across LA.
Systems Thinking
This isn't about perfecting your recycling. Individual choices matter, but they happen inside much bigger systems. We’ll look at the policies, infrastructure, institutions, and histories that shape what choices are available in the first place.
Hyperlocal Solutions
Across 6 weekly workshops, we’ll bring LA’s climate solutions to life through the people already building them. Meet local leaders and organizations, explore real projects happening across our neighborhoods, and learn tangible ways to plug in, contribute, and be part of what’s next.
Radical Imagination
Climate action can’t only be about stopping bad things from happening. We also need space to imagine the good stuff: cooler streets, cleaner air, abundant public spaces, affordable homes, thriving ecosystems, and neighborhoods built around care.
A DIFFERENT APPROACHOur climate future is a group project.
You’ll learn from local organizers, researchers, scientists and community leaders.
You’ll work through real LA case studies, collaborate in small groups, try hands-on activities, ask questions, share ideas, and imagine solutions together, with on-going opportunities to connect and take action IRL, right here in Los Angeles.
Workshop Topics
Each week you’ll cover a new topic with new guest speakers, interactive activity and resources to connect, learn and take action on that local issue.
