Session 1:

WHY ARGUE? HOW TO DOCUMENT CLIMATE CHANGE

Jesper Theilgaard and polar explorer Jim McNeil in conversation.

WHEN: Monday 25th March / 17:00-18:00

WHERE: Kunsthal Charlottenborg,

When it comes to the environment — is the media failing us? Do scaremongering narratives around climate change encourage people to take action? Does the debate focus too much on personal consumer choices and too little on holding private companies to account? Why do we need to make climate change sexy in order for people to care? Join us in a conversation between the infamous meteorologist Jesper Theilgaard and polar explorer Jim McNeil to understand more about the defining issue of this century.

Should we listen to people whose opinions repulse us?How can we move beyond our echo-chambers to engage with people who have different opinions? Do we even dare disagree with each other anymore? As our geopolitical climate becomes increasingly fractured these questions are more pressing than ever. WHY ARGUE? invites you to a discussion of these issues, explored by journalist and TV host Clement Kjersgaard, editor-in-chief of Ekstra, Bladet Poul Madsen and former Ambassador-at-large for human rights François Zimeray.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
