Lexington Lyceum Community Conversation: Growing up in a climate crisis: How are young people responding?
Tuesday, April 30, 6:30 – 9:00 pm
Follen Church Community Center, 755 Mass. Ave, Lexington
How are young people driving change, staying resilient, and keeping hope alive in the face of climate crisis? Join this interactive conversation to hear high school students and young professionals talk about how they feel, what they think, and what they’re doing about climate change.
For participants who can arrive at 6:30 pm, Roaming Buffalo Wabanaki will lead us into a space of heart-centered connectedness to all living things that depend on the planet and a healthy, stable climate to thrive and survive. They will draw on Indigenous wisdom and teachings to help us prepare for our community conversation.
