Come out for a 4-day workshop at the University of Toronto’s Transformative Learning Centre.
The workshop involves wonderful skill-building, participatory activities, great resources, field trips, guest speakers, hands-on learning, and of course, great food.
When: Monday, June 18 – Thursday, June 21, 10am-3pm (daily)
Where: Transformative Learning Centre, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto
Description: Imagine if our daily act of eating could contribute to creating a peaceful world – this is the vision of the PeaceMeal Project, which seeks to promote a culture of peace through food.
Through this interactive and participatory workshop, we will examine the relationship between food and peace at different levels, from the personal to the global, using various frameworks including culture of peace, food sovereignty and food security. Using creative activities, dialogue, and self-reflection exercises, participants will explore how our daily act of eating is connected to different facets of peace, and reflect on their own place in the food system. We will also diagnose non-peaceful elements of the food system and identify strategies to increase or enhance peace there.
