As more is established around the nature and extent of the cl imate crisis\, sometimes called a ‘super-wicked’ problem because of it s complexity\, a key concern is the dissemination of climate change relate d knowledge. This is increasingly a priority given the need to mainstream climate change. \nThis event aims to engage early career researchers\, pr actitioners\, and activists around their work on climate action research p rojects. It will highlight the experiences of those in the early stages of a climate action career by exploring their experiences in a range of part icipatory action research groups (PARGs). These groups involved both the c o-creation of climate change knowledge between a range of actors as well a s the publicising of this knowledge through novel multi-media and communic ation channels. The latter included the use of audio and visual media in t he creation process\, as well as the use of social media platforms in orde r to circulate knowledge and generate engagement around climate change in different national contexts.\nThe event presents an opportunity to highlig ht the lessons that can be learnt from the experiences of early career res earchers\, practitioners\, and activists when conducting climate action re search of this nature.\nThe event is open to all those with an interest in the issues under discussion. The event is free to attend\, but registrati on on Eventbrite is required.\nProgramme\n10-10:30: Welcome and introduct ions\n10:30-1200: Climate-U Participatory Action Research Groups (PARGs)\ nSession 1\n\n Experiences in Brazil (University of Passo Fundo): Setting up the PARGs\n Documenting and disseminating knowledge around the processe s and impacts of PARGs\n Session 2\n Experiences in Kenya (Kenyatta Univer sity): Setting up the PARGs\n Documenting and disseminating knowledge arou nd the processes and impacts of PARGs\n\n12:00-12:45 Break\n12:45-13:45:  Bringing in the voices of students involved in PARGs at the University of Passo Fundo and Kenyatta University\n13:45-14:45: Interactive Session: Cr itically reflecting on ways to further bridge the gaps in participation\, knowledge co-creation and dissemination\n14:45 -15:15 Closing remarks and steps forward\nTransforming Universities for a Changing Climate is a thre e-year Global Challenges Research Fund project.
