PURPOSE
The Climate Collective fosters connectedness, visibility, and impact for Teaching Artists’ contributions to the climate crisis response. That distinctive contribution is the capacity to creatively engage directly in communities, schools and institutions to change beliefs and behaviors about the climate, and to document the impact of the work.
VISION
The Climate Collective envisions a vigorous, positive global response to the climate crisis in which the skills of creative engagement are widely recognized and tapped.
MISSION
The Mission of the Climate Collective is to use international demonstration projects, model projects, an online curriculum, and an activist group of Teaching Artist leaders to advocate, educate, and activate the impact that teaching artists can bring to climate crisis response, and to leverage the effectiveness and impact of member projects into increased funding and engagement opportunities as member projects.
