Postcards to spark climate conversations
You might use the postcards by sharing them out among neighbours, whānau or with your community members. You could invite people to sit with a question, jot down their thoughts, and "post" their cards back in a collective kete. Gathering responses might help you notice the patterns, values and hopes of your community that surface. These postcards work just as well virtually or in real life, and we’ve included print-ready files if you’d like to print your own and place them on work tables, noticeboards, or in shared space.
The postcards can be used by facilitators and community organisers to support group conversations. Each prompt helps uncover what matters most to people – their values, visions, needs and things they don’t want to carry forward. These conversations are critical for grounded, people-led climate adaptation.
The series is illustrated by renowned artist Story Hēmi-Moorehouse, who draws on her childhood and rangatahitanga in Tāmaki Makaurau to create images that are wistful, generous and intentionally unfinished. The cards are open canvases – scenes that don’t tell you what to think, but gently invite you to step in, imagine and begin to dream together.
He mihi maioha, warm regards, truly.
