The Sustainability & Social Justice Inter-Organizational Retreat:
Inter-org is a 3-day retreat where student organizations get together to learn about sustainability and social justice. Its purpose is to have organizations interact, form bonds, and make new memories with each other through workshops, and team-building activities.
More than 100 UCSC students, staff, and alumni will spend the weekend sharing meals, learning leadership skills, participating in visioning activities around the past, present, and future of UCSC sustainability, making new friends, and strengthening existing relationships. We invite guest speakers to present on sustainability and social justice issues. Students lead workshops about projects on campus with opportunities to collaborate! We hope you'll join us.
Theme - Another World Is Possible
Another World Is Possible seeks to expand our knowledge and willingness to implement alternate approaches to some of our society’s toughest problems. Expect in-depth conversations where we truly express ourselves and explore a number of modern socio-economic issues from the local to the international scale.
Please RSVP at bit.ly/inteorg23
Food will be provided free of charge throughout the retreat the entire weekend as well as accommodation at the YMCA Camp Campbell. Although there is no fee to attend Inter-Org Retreat, RSVP is still required by the deadline, April 4, 12 pm, 2023.
