2 Day Workshop:
Day 1: Saturday, October 18, 10am-3pm
Day 2: Sunday, October 19, 10am-3pm
- Located on the UW Seattle Campus - Mary Gates Hall
- Ages 11 to 18/6th to 12th Graders
This is a 2-day workshop for youth that brings together two big themes:
- Migration (why people move, especially due to war, danger, or economic need), and
- Climate Change (how environmental disasters like droughts, fires, and floods force people to migrate)
The course encourages young people to think about what it means to be welcomed (or not) in a new place — whether that’s a new school, new country, or new home, considering the question:
If more people are forced to migrate due to climate change... how do we make space for everyone?
What will students do or learn?
- Explore why migration happens — for people, animals, and even plants
- Talk about how Seattle and the Puget Sound might change as more people move here.
- Practice how to welcome newcomers (whether people or species) with care and justice.
- Reflect on personal stories of moving and belonging.
- Engage in interactive activities — hands-on art, storytelling, and natures hikes on campus!
Youth from all backgrounds are encouraged- both those new to these topics and those already involved in Climate Action or justice work.
Families are invited to join for Sunday lunch and closing activities.
Accessibility and Inclusion: Our priority is inclusivity, ensuring everyone interested can join us in this vital effort. This training is FREE, lunch is included, and the building is ADA-accessible. Activities include touring the trees and gardens of the University of Washington, Seattle campus.
