What are KWIC Conversations?
KWIC Conversations are an opportunity for students and community members to come together for thoughtful and interactive conversations on timely topics and how we are experiencing what's happening in the world.
Ecological restoration seems to be a very abstract concept when it's just talked about in class. Therefore, a real interest goes unnerved in hearing about how it really gets done. This KWIC Conversation will be a follow-up from a panel of people who actively restore local ecosystems and will delve deeper into what came up at the panel. The conversation will be facilitated by Kira Nixon and Nick Weissflog. Kira is the interim president of the Society for Ecological Restoration - Trent University (SER-TU). Nick, a SER-TU member, had been looking forward to arranging the speaker panel on this topic for a year and is very happy there is a second part!
Please note that this event will be presented in a hybrid format both online and in person. If you would like to attend in person you will be visiting the KWIC EYE Centre in ESC B101 at Trent University. A Zoom link will also be sent out in advance.

The Action and Justice Creative Reflections are an opportunity to engage with topics surrounding climate action and social justice through a creative outlet. This event entails four prompts for you to reflect on independently and then have the option to share. Feel free to mute yourself through this event and play some music, talk with friends, or enjoy the silence. Throughout the event we will be opening the floor for optional sharing and then continuing on with another prompt. By the end of the Action and Justice Creative Reflections you will have engaged with four different prompts that allow you to reflect and be creative while positioning yourself and identifying various factors that contribute to the topics we discuss.
Use whatever media any like (paint, journaling, crayons, pastels, pencils, pens, clay, etc.)
4 prompts will be used through the event with periods between for creativity!
