First Year Book

Please join us for a First Year Book Discussion/Event! Local leaders who are taking action on climate change talk about what they're doing and how YOU can get involved!

Wednesday, October 19 from 5:15pm-6:30pm in 0202 ESJ! Spread the word! 🌎🌏🌍

We invite students from across the University of Maryland campus to join us for a “World Cafe” Event featuring this year’s first year book. All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis. This event will be held on Friday, October 28 from 12:30pm-2pm in the STAMP.

Participants will engage in roundtable discussions focusing on the book’s themes to take collective action in addressing the climate crisis challenge and effectively engage in “The Climate Movement.” All participants will receive four short book chapters prior to the event, and share their ideas on how to:

- Making restorative change and respond to the climate crisis in ways that heal systemic injustices;
- Suggest action heart-centered, not just head-centered, learning and leadership to solve this crisis; and
- Building community for building a better world.

This World Cafe will be open to the first 50 students who register for the event and lunch will be provided to all attendees. Click the link in our bio to register.
