Real Food Challenge Summer Happenings!
We here at Stir It Up would like to congratulate our friends at the Real Food Challenge on winning the Echoing Green Fellowship. Check out the exciting announcement here.
If you are interested in getting involved with the Real Food Challenge as they continue their exciting work, we encourage you to attend one of their leadership conferences this summer. In RFC’s own words,
“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'll cook and eat delicious meals together, visit and work with local food justice organizations, do all sorts of outdoor activities and (of course) have dance parties! Everyone walks away with new friends, allies, concrete skills, and the real tools needed to revolutionize our food system!”
The trainings will be in Orlando (Aug. 11-15), Boston (Aug. 19-22), Atascadero, California (Aug. 26-29) and North Carolina (Sept. 4-6). For all the info you need, check out the Real Food Challenge web page about the events.
