Welcome to School of Interspecies Kinship! We educate you in the arts of multi-species living and dying in Gaia. Let us generate empathy, kinship and sensibility between species, as we learn how to live on a damaged planet. As children of compost we will wave flags of Gaia, purr like cats, dance like wasps and sing like bees: Together we will make speculative fabulations about possible futures.

School of Interspecies Kinship has developed a program containing three different workshops all trying to shorten the distance between human and other-than-human critters; slowly erasing the term Human and the term Nature, from the participants minds while emphasising the possibilities for cross-species relation, friendship, kinship and understanding.
