Are you worried about Climate Change? Curious about getting involved in sustainability locally?
Join us for Uptown Climate Futures, a friendly, conversational workshop series designed to convene community, create a cohort feel, and amplify the voices of people in Uptown Toronto, with a focus on BIPOC youth (ages 15-35) . Through deep discussions, storytelling, creative exploration, and interactive activities, we’ll explore themes of social and environmental sustainability—culminating in a published anthology featuring participants’ writing and artwork.
Session 3, July 10: (Re)Indigenizing
How can our ancestral lineages inform our responsibilities to Truth and Reconciliation?
Continuing the thread of Session 2’s focus on our connections to ancestral indigenous lands, we’ll center this week’s conversation on our relationships and responsibilities to the lands and peoples of Turtle Island, where we call home today. With Indigenous-led knowledge sharing and facilitation, we’ll explore what it means to respectfully foster belonging on these lands while serving as allies to Indigenous sovereignty in what is currently Canada.
Our closing collective visioning activity will seek to imagine new possibilities for Land Back, Truth and Reconciliation, and our relationship to land amidst a climate crisis.
