Virtual Campfire with Changemakers: Women in Climate Action
Join us for an engaging online event series, Virtual Campfire with Changemakers, where we gather beyond borders to spark meaningful conversations, share stories and ignite change! Each month, our host Carmen Chan, founder of Girls Be Change, invites her remarkable changemaker friends from around the world to explore diverse topics that matter to us all. From conservation and climate to women's stories, this series is designed to enlighten and empower you with stories. So, let's talk about something serious... with a light heart.
On April 12 Sat 5-6pm GMT+8, we are thrilled to welcome two co-hosts and women in climate action: Josefine Bovbjerg, Content and Community Lead of Goodwings, a climate-focused SaaS travel management platform helping businesses and organizations travel more responsibly; and Clarissa Tam, the Hong Kong City Lead of Women And Climate, a community that provides a joyful and safe space for women and nonbinary professionals from around the world to learn and talk about climate.
In this unique Virtual Campfire format, we won’t be confined to a traditional panel or roundtable discussion. Instead, prepare for an intimate gathering where professional stories intertwine with personal experiences. Our cohosts will share their journeys and insights, inviting participants to ask questions and contribute to a rich tapestry of dialogue. This is a space for connection, learning, and inspiration, where you are welcome to join in and share your thoughts. All genders welcome!
Whether you're passionate about women in climate actions or curious about the power of community in climate actions, this virtual campfire promises to be a thought-provoking experience. Bring your curiosity and an open heart, and let’s celebrate the power of storytelling and community together! We can’t wait to see you there!
In order to curate a more engaging experience, we limit each virtual campfire session to 10 participants only. The online session will also be recorded.
Meet our Campfire Host, Carmen!
