About this event:
How can radical collaborations and partnerships create tangible change? And what makes a collaboration ‘radical’?
Join us at this special Brown Bag Lunch to explore what it means to radically collaborate. We’ll hear from young people at the frontlines of this work and explore how you can build radical collaborations and partnerships to achieve your goals!
About the Series
Young people make real, positive change happen and when it comes to tackling big challenges, like the climate crisis, youth have stepped up to take action and create opportunities. Through collaboration and knowledge sharing, young people from around the country are helping advance progress towards the 2030 SDG Agenda and climate justice.
In this new event series, Putting (YOU)th on the Agenda: Youth Climate Lab’s RAD Cohort Reflects on Radical Collaboration Towards Agenda 2030, hosted in partnership with Youth Climate Lab, Alliance 2030, and RAD, we’ll hear from youth climate leaders about making green jobs accessible for all, creating the future of food, radical collaboration, and building meaningful partnerships.
