On October 11,
2014 East New York Farms!/United Community Centers hosted a “Regional
Rooted In Community Youth Summit" with participants from 10 projects
arriving from 5 states in the Northeast. The day started with a breakfast
of Brooklyn bagels, laughs and energizers led by interns from East New
York Farms. Youth learned West African, West Indian music,
Latin, and hip hop dances representing the diverse cultures of East New
York. With the goal of
developing youth leadership and a youth voice in food justice, we spent the
morning in workshops facilitated by participating groups. The Urban Nutrition Initiative taught about “Media
and Food Choices”, Cultivating Community taught about “Helping Seniors Eat
Their Veggies”, the Center for Environmental Transformation taught about “Food
Systems and Hunger.” |
