AGENDA
9:30 a.m. Arrival
Meet and greet with coffee and tea
10 a.m.-12 p.m. Workshop: Asset-Based Community Development and Climate
Places hold knowledge, skills, resources and relationships. We believe that by helping communities discover, connect and activate their assets, residents can take a more active role in what they want for their community, to advance climate action and move towards the deep societal transformation needed to future-proof our communities.
In this workshop, you will learn about:
-
- Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD)
- how ABCD can be applied to climate work in community
- how to engage residents in mapping their physical, natural, community and individual assets as well as GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions sources, adaptation and mitigation opportunities,
- how to identify risks and vulnerabilities
Applying an ABCD lens to climate work in community will offer meaningful engagement of residents and will community-led and -owned solutions which are more likely to be socially accepted and long lasting.
12 p.m.-2 p.m. Lunch and networking
Enjoy connecting with other Tamarack members, partners and change makers over a delicious vegetarian lunch.
2 p.m.-4 p.m. Conversation on the role of Belonging in communities
Join us for a conversation on the role of Belonging in our communities, for well-being, quality of life, for climate and local economies. We'll talk about the importance of social connection and our Pan-Canadian Strategy for Belonging.
If you have any questions about the event, please contact Astrid : astrid@tamarackcommunity.ca.
This event is part of a series of conversations to amplify the movement for a Strategy for Belonging that centres everyone's perspectives on the quality of life in communities and advances belonging as a policy outcome.
