Organized By: Let's Sprout and The ENRICH Project

Let's Sprout is working in collaboration with Dr. Ingrid Waldron and The ENRICH Project on incorporating environmental justice issues into middle schools and high schools.

Let's Sprout creates spaces for youth to compassionately explore their whole selves, question the world with an empathetic and critical lens, and demand action. We host and design capacity building programming for all youth to realize their immense power to foster positive social and environmental change. 

We began the project last September, working with Dalhousie university students to identify specific places in existing Nova Scotia curricula where teachers could achieve outcomes by teaching about environmental racism.

We are hosting a community gathering to connect those who are already working to address or developing educational resources about environmental justice and racism. With this, it is our hope to engage African Nova Scotian, Mi'kmaq and BIPOC educators, creatives and changemakers, as well as impacted community members. The gathering will be a place to discuss our initial findings and plan next steps for the project.

Please find more details and RSVP to the gathering on our website: https://www.letssprout.org/events/communitygathering

We recognize this is a massive undertaking that needs collaboration, various perspectives, and willingness to do some very meaningful and challenging work.

We hope you can join us.

Sincerely,
