Description
Check out this video to watch the The Adventure Learning Grant 2022-2023.
Please join us as we learn more from Fairhaven students and their experiences as Adventure Learning Grant recipients.
Jericho will present on the journalistic, advocacy work he did winter of 2023. He will be discussing the situation and experiences of displaced people attempting to enter the EU through Serbia and Eastern Europe.
Kate will be sharing some of her experiences on the ALG in Mexico, including the generative and abundant experience of non-knowing. She will explore this experience through the lens of relationship - to food, to land, to people.
Wil will share his experiences from the Nooksack to Napo and Back Again: bi-hemispheric watershed relations from the lost rainforests of the Salish Sea to the headwaters of the Amazon. He focused on localized riverine contexts of globalized extraction in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Wil created a film Rio Pusuno: Meet the Community, in collaboration with Ecuadorian mentor Diego Robles and filmmaker Ben Stookesberry and was featured in the Kendal Mountain Film Festival in the U.K.
The World Issues Forum series is free and open to the public. Talks are held at 12:00pm in Fairhaven College Auditorium. The Fairhaven Auditorium is on the top floor of the Fairhaven College main building to the rear (east) side. If you enter from the west entrance (halfway between the second and third floor facing parking lot 12A), take the half-flight of stairs to the left and continue to east side of the building from there. You'll see the door to the auditorium a little to your left.
