Additional input from Flora Moon:
The Houston Illini Club invites you to participate in the Climate Fresk Game on April 11 from 1–4 pm at Jungman Library, in recognition of Earth Day.
Climate Fresk is a fun, collaborative, and scientifically grounded workshop where participants connect the dots on climate change and explore meaningful ways individuals and communities can make a difference. Whether you’re new to the topic or already engaged, you’ll leave with fresh insights and motivation to act.
Families are encouraged to participate. In one recent session that included three generations, the youngest participant—a quiet 12-year-old—listened as the adults discussed their reactions to what they had learned. When invited to share her thoughts, she looked at her parents and said just one word:
“Disappointed.”
Let’s not disappoint the next generation. Join fellow Illini to learn, discuss, and consider practical actions we can take together. Family and friends are welcome. Bonus: The Illini Club will provide snacks and soft drinks.
