Description:
Each event will feature a unique series of workshops ranging from storytelling as an organizing tool and 'power, privilege and oppression in the food system,' to ones on campaign planning and how to shift campus food systems. All participating teams will leave with a full action plan for the school year.These trainings are much more than workshops: we will cook and eat delicious meals together, visit and work with local food justice organizations, and play all sorts of games and outdoor activities. Everyone walks away with new friends, allies, concrete skills, and the real tools needed to revolutionize our food system! As one student from Florida put it:'Informative. Empowering. This training has taught me so much: That it can be done; How to use the tools to get it done; And that I am not alone in this struggle. Everyone was awesome and supportive, which inspires hope that the world can change for the better.'REGISTER TODAY! We hope to see you this summer! What can you expect from an RFC Leadership Training?
