Communication for Good (on TikTok)

March 23, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm EDT

Learn from members of EcoTok, a collective of young environmental educators and activists who got together in Summer 2020 with the shared objective of using TikTok as a platform to save the planet. Since then, EcoTok has earned hundreds of millions of views, millions of likes, and more than 100,000 followers.

In this conversation moderated by Associate Professor Nejem Raheem, environmentalist and digital activist Kristy Drutman (@browngirlgreen) and environmental educator and content creator Isaias Hernandez (@queerbrownvegan) will show how EcoTok’s techniques translate complex subjects into accessible, meaningful, and actionable communication. To underscore the importance of EcoTok’s work from an educational perspective, we will be joined by Dr. Wendy Purcell of Harvard’s Chan School of Public Health, an expert in how leadership, governance, and higher education all contribute to the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals.

Free and open to the public. Register on Eventbrite.

GO DEEPER WITH ECOTOK:

During their visit to Emerson College, EcoTok members go deeper into their work in this interactive workshop. They will discuss their creative and research processes, as well as how they are making careers as content creator-activists. The audience is invited to bring their own causes, problems, solutions, and ideas—whether related to sustainability or not—to discuss how they, too, can create content and communicate for good

SPACE IS LIMITED. Please reserve your seat here to take advantage of this special opportunity.
