Activating Youth Leadership: Indigenous Land-Based Education and Restoration
As youth and educators/local Indigenous community members, John and Jess work together to coordinate eco-youth programs in schools and the community, with a special focus on healing and reconnecting to land and waters with Lekwungen and WSANEC communities. They will share photos and stories of the schools and Living Lab eco-youth program and their vision for growing this work as part of the broader movement of resurgence, rights and wellness.
