Let’s come together online to align understanding and action in support of effective, collective responses to the moment we are living in.

We’ve been navigating the strain and uncertainty of a global pandemic for close to two years. Soaring housing prices and extreme flooding have displaced community members. Our entrenched political divides are laced with conflict and create a sense of insecurity. How do we make sense of these realities? Where can we glimpse the kind of possibility worth coming together to work for? This workshop provides an opportunity to connect, explore a shared vision of Just Transition, and consider the question: What will it take to build systems centered on care for each other and our shared home? What would it mean for many of us in the Mahicantuck (Hudson) Valley to be focused on social and ecological well-being? Join us online, in community, to deepen your understanding of the Just Transition framework, principles and practices. Through video, reflection, story sharing, and small group discussion, you will:

• See people from across the country describing aspects of Just Transition
• Hear how other participants respond to the framework
• Connect your own experience to extractive and regenerative economic paradigms
• Gain a sense of the framework, principles and practices, and where they come from
• Discuss ways you are drawn toward weaving one or more Just Transition principles and practices into your Good Work

Join us to learn about allying with young people and deepen your social equity practice.

About this event

Whether we are parents, caregivers, educators or other youth workers, in our hearts we know that the ways we accompany children as they develop shape so much of what comes after. Perhaps we’ve not yet been invited to understand how our relationships with young people – including with our younger selves – can transform their and our capacity to practice social equity. Although not always named, or understood by many, adultism is the systematic mistreatment of young people, and the way children are brought into the cycle of oppression. Adultism is a form of oppression that we have all experienced and witnessed. Through reading, presentations, reflection, sharing, presentations, and discussion in this series of two workshops, you will have the opportunity to:

• Learn about the cycle of oppression that we enter into when we’re young
• Recall and re-interpret childhood experiences* through the lens of the cycle of oppression
• Explore how adultism is internalized and externalized
• Gain insight into how adultism limits our capacity to effectively interrupt oppression as adults
• Articulate ways to apply what you’ve learned to becoming an ally to the young people in your life

* SPECIAL NOTE: Many of us carry trauma from our experiences as children. In these workshops, there will be invitations for reflection and sharing intended to draw out and personalize learning about concepts. However, this is not designed to be a therapeutic experience, and there will not be trained therapists present. We are looking for your partnership in taking care of, and not overextending yourself, which includes attending to your needs, boundaries and safety, and knowing that there is always a choice in how much you choose to share in this kind of context. If you anticipate this topic may trigger childhood trauma, we invite you to consider if this is the right time to participate in these workshops.

We’ve been navigating the strain and uncertainty of a global pandemic for over a year and a half. We’ve had stark and upsetting reminders of the necessity of overcoming racial injustice.
