The 8th annual Rising Voices: Climate Resilience through Indigenous and Earth Sciences workshop will build upon previous Rising Voices workshops to focus on exchanges between communities, generations, place-based knowledges, and different ways of knowing to learn from place-based climate resilience actions.
The workshop will include:
To include as many participants as possible, we ask that people apply to attend the workshop. We encourage applications from Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, community members, educators, scientists, and practitioners who are interested in bringing together multiple knowledge systems from Indigenous and Earth science perspectives. The application process is to help ensure a diversity of participants across geographies, cultures, ages, genders, and topics of focus. Additional spaces will be available to individuals local to the workshop location, however we highly encourage local participants to fill out the application form as this will help with workshop planning.
The Rising Voices Program facilitates intercultural, relational-based approaches for understanding and adapting to extreme weather and climate events, variability, and change. It supports a growing network of collaborators with diverse cultural, community, geographic, and educational backgrounds.
