Hello,

You received an earlier message this summer in June about getting involved in the Real Food Challenge movement through summer leadership trainings.  Guess what?  There is a training coming to you, right here in Seattle, NEXT WEEK!  From September 16 - 18, a group of 25 students from UW and other schools will come together for a weekend of learning, teamwork, and friendship through collaborative efforts around the topic of campus food sustainability.  We want you to join us!  Below, you will find what you can expect from the training.  Visit www.realfoodchallenge.org to learn more, or reply to this email with any questions you may have.

Real Food Challenge at UW

***

Each summer, RFC holds several regional leadership trainings, where campus real food leaders meet to learn about, reflect on, harvest, and cook real food in preparation for the coming academic year.

 

What can you expect from an RFC Leadership Training?

 

• RFC and Movement 101: Introductions to the history of the Real Food Challenge and the larger food movement, including conversations on oppression and privilege in the context of food systems & avenues for mobilizing community power for positive social change.

• Leadership Development: Workshops on strategic campaign planning, story telling, group facilitation, creative event planning, dining service contracts, and engaging community stakeholders.

• Field trips to local farms and real food organizations

• Community: Connect with new partners in this national student movement! Enjoy group meals, late-night jam sessions and dance parties with new friends!

• Plans for the future: Students leave with new friends, concrete skills, and action plans, equipped with REAL goals for REAL change on campus come September.

This summer's trainings are coming soon! Join us for another powerful weekend of workshops, cooking, skill-shares, storytelling, strategizing, and all-around fun. Click here for more information!
