The Climate In Your Hands: empowering young people's engagement in climate action through Zine-making

我目前的研究中心是来自社会边缘群体的青少年如何通过阅读和写作批判性地参与社会正义问题。因此，该项目的目的和目标是：让来自社会边缘群体的年轻人参与艺术教育/培训，使他们意识到气候变化、运动和文化生产中的不平等问题，并衡量他们的意见；从年轻人的角度理解气候行动运动中代表性不足的问题——以创造性作品为代表；围绕参与者的气候行动/气候行动运动经历制作杂志；共同创建一份数字化的“气候变化杂志创作”指导文件，供课堂使用；向年轻人介绍苏格兰的创意产业，作为潜在的职业，并帮助他们发展不同的创意技能；向年轻人介绍研究，并帮助他们发展研究技能；共同创建格拉斯哥大学（UoG）和格拉斯哥Zine图书馆（GZL）之间的互惠对话和伙伴关系；帮助年轻人建立实践网络/社区，交流思想，共同应对气候变化；并创建一个数字材料档案，以备将来使用。这些目标将通过一个强有力的方案来实现，该方案有以下组成部分：四次90分钟的zine讲习班，由15-20人参加（星期六）；与苏格兰著名艺术家和活动家进行的四次30分钟的异步大师班（苏格兰各地的参与者和学校都可以参加）；关于如何在课堂上制作气候行动杂志的数字指南，将在苏格兰的学校分发。指南将在研讨会和反馈环节与参与者和研讨会负责人共同制定；制作杂志，作为参与者的实物；建立一个创造性的社会正义网络。该项目的合作伙伴是GZL，一个社区档案和中心，以及位于戈文希尔的zine图书馆。GZL还举办工作坊、电影放映、讨论小组、阅读小组、儿童工艺品和社交俱乐部。他们的活动以社区为中心，设计为负担得起和方便。GZL拥有与年轻人一起举办实体和数字活动的经验。2021年，他们的Zine Fest在网上举行，以虚拟Zine博览会和在线活动为特色。此外，GZL亦透过“青年制作人计划”，与14至18岁的青少年合作，为戈文山的青少年创造社区艺术组织的机会。时间：7 - 8月：向学校和社区团体等分发详细信息，以招募参与者并使他们了解数字指南；9月：与参与者进行数字焦点小组和项目前评估（30分钟：由MRB领导）：项目介绍和研究讨论；数字工作坊1和2；工作坊和作业活动：共同为学校编写一份指导文件（例如，如何在课堂上制作气候行动杂志）；拍摄并开发4个点播大师班（弗兰克·怀特利：绘画/艺术制作，霍莉·吉利布兰德：青年行动主义，阿曼达·汤姆森：自然写作，卡梅隆·麦凯：多媒体）。10月：数字工作坊3和4；工作坊和作业活动：共同创作指导文件；进入大师班（参与者）；评估：与车间领导进行反馈焦点小组（MRB）；为学校设计和制作指南11月：在学校分发指南和大师班；与参与者进行物理（如果可能）焦点小组（30分钟）：反馈和评估研讨会（在UoG或GZL， COP26后）；社交活动：“电影和聊天”（在UoG或GZL放映和讨论一部关于气候变化的纪录片或电影）12月：社交媒体活动（与UoG合作）：学校根据指南发送自己的杂志图片；项目评估

My current research centres on how adolescents from socially marginalised groups critically engage with social justice issues through reading and writing. As such, the project aims and objectives are to: Engage young people from socially marginalised groups in arts education/training, and make them aware of and gauge their opinion on the issues of climate change, inequality in the movement and in cultural production; Understand underrepresentation in the climate action movement - as represented through creative works - from the perspective of young people; Create zines around the participants' experiences of climate activism/the climate action movement; Co-create a digital 'climate change zine creation' guidelines document for use in the classroom; Introduce young people to the creative industries in Scotland, as a potential career, and to help them develop different creative skills; introduce young people to research and help them develop research skills; Co-create a reciprocal dialogue and partnership between University of Glasgow (UoG) and Glasgow Zine Library (GZL); Help young people develop a network/community of practice, to exchange ideas and work together on addressing climate change; and Create an archive of digital material for future use.These will be met through a robust programme with the following components: Four, 90-minute, zine workshops with a group of 15-20 participants (Saturdays); Four, 30-minute, asynchronous masterclasses with prominent Scottish artists and activists (available to participants and schools throughout Scotland); Digital guidelines on how to create climate action zines in the classroom, to be circulated to schools in Scotland. The guidelines will be co-created with the participants and workshop leaders during the workshops and feedback session; The creation of zines, as a physical artefact for the participants; Building a creative and social justice network.The project partners are GZL, a community archive and hub, and zine library based in Govanhill. GZL also hosts workshops, film screenings, discussion groups, reading groups, children's arts and crafts, and social clubs. Their events are community-focused and designed to be affordable and accessible. GZL have experience of hosting both physical and digital events with young people. In 2021, their Zine Fest was held online, featuring a virtual zine fair and online events. The GZL also have experience working with this age range (14-18) through their Young Producers Programme, which aims to create opportunities for young people in Govanhill in the field of community arts organising.Timeline: Jul-Aug: Circulate details to schools and community groups etc. to recruit participants and make them aware of digital guidelines; Confirm workshop and masterclass leadersSept: Digital focus group and pre-project evaluation with participants (30 mins: Led by MRB): Introduction to the project and research discussion; Digital workshops 1 and 2; Workshop and homework activity: Co-create a guidelines document for schools (i.e. how to create a climate action zine in the classroom); Film and develop 4 on-demand masterclasses (Frank Whitely: drawing/art production, Holly Gillibrand: youth activism, Amanda Thomson: nature writing, Cameron Mackay: multimedia).Oct: Digital workshops 3 and 4; Workshop and homework activity: Co-create a guidelines document; Access to Masterclasses (participants); Evaluation: Feedback focus group with workshop leaders (MRB); Design and produce guidelines for schools Nov: Circulate guidelines and masterclass access to schools; Physical (if possible) focus group (30 mins) with participants: Feedback and evaluation of the workshops (at UoG or GZL, after COP26); Social event: 'film and a chat' (screening of, and discussion about, a documentary or film about climate change, at UoG or GZL)Dec: Social media campaign (with UoG): schools to send images of their own zines based on the guidelines; Project evaluation
