Part Two: Introduction
A Pluriverse of Personal Stories
​
The stories are thoughtful reflections on unlearning, relearning, learning, for climate justice. They illustrate how personal experiences can open pathways into the political; whilst the stories reflect descriptions and ponderings of individuals, they clearly point to the systemic contexts which shape them. Whether immersion into ‘wild’ Nature, engagement with fishers and land-restorers, or art and creative expressions, the engagement with Nature challenges the learnt separation and points into various directions for unlearning and forging new relationships.
​
We encourage readers to think about your own relationships with Nature and moments when you felt that contradictions could lead to both new insights, and action, towards alternative, reciprocal, respectful relations, forging new ways of being/acting together.
