Recipes for Reslience Closing Ceremony

Friday, 25 February 2022 - 9:00am to 11:00am
via Zoom

The Recipes for Resilience project sought to reconnect Caribbean and British Caribbean youths to their elders through activities that encourage young people to reflect on their own food practices, how they may differ from older people and why these changes matter in the context of climate adaptation, resilience, and justice for Caribbean peoples of African descent. The project forms part of a UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and Arts Humanities Research Council (AHRC) series of investments that have encouraged 14-18 year olds to engage with and contribute to important climate research. This research is being conducted by the Universities of Edinburgh and the West Indies, and includes partnerships with the Caribbean Youth Environment Network (CYEN),  Wild Caribbean, the Black Open University of the United Kingdom (BOU) and the Song Academy. 
The Closing Ceremony will showcase the project's work and generate ideas with a range of stakeholders about next steps for the Caribbean region. Music developed by our young participants that relays key messages from the project and recordings of Caribbean youth perspectives on climate change and COP26 will be presented and feedback solicited.
Do join the RfR team on Friday, February 25, 2022 at 9:00 am Bogota Time.
