‘We really don’t know what consciousness is – you can’t detect it on a machine.’

by The Friend 10th June 2022

Hosted by Quaker Peace & Social Witness (QPSW), the How schools can teach climate justice session opened with a poem by Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner. Ellis Brooks, from QPSW’s peace education team, who led the session, said that the poem was a good example of an ‘uplifting voice’ in climate education, that was ‘hopeful but indignant’ about the plight of her native home – the kind of story ‘we’d like to be telling in education’.
