Case Study 5: The Inner Anti-hero and Eco-anxiety: A Student Movie from Sweden

The World Social Work Day celebration is held annually at the University of Gävle. This event for the Year 2022 was held remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and my contribution to the celebration was through a short movie regarding eco-anxiety. Prior to the event, our bachelor programme had a course in ecological social work, where eco-anxiety was frequently discussed. In an engaging dialogue with a teacher from this course, we formulated the notion of my contribution to a creative project. The project was foremost aimed at social workers, providing an example of how expressive art can be a teaching tool.
