New Workshop Series!

The Diversity Education Office is launching a new project this winter! The Urban Eco Collective is a network of young adults who are interested in food justice and food sovereignty. The Ancestral Wisdom and Urban Food Systems workshop series run from February to March 2017. This series explores local food systems and local initiatives to make food more accessible and affordable within communities.

The Diversity Education Office has brought together a diverse group of young adults, community activists, and knowledge keepers to form the Urban Eco Collective. In February and March, the collective is launching its first workshop series: Ancestral Wisdom and Urban Food Systems. This series will be provided in Abbotsford and Toronto simultaneously. Each location is offering various workshops on the themes of food justice, identity, and worldviews. To provide a holistic perspective on western food systems, the Urban Eco Collective is collaborating with various organizations and individuals to bring an empowering and active workshop to the Cities of Abbotsford and Toronto. Participants can expect to develop understanding, tools, and skills that will lead to their ability to fully participate in local food justice initiatives.
