Yale Schwarzman Center invites you to participate in a virtual information session. Come learn who we are, what our vision for the Center is, what types of programming you can expect. Bring your curiosity, too – there will be a Q&A in which members of the YSC team will answer your questions!
This season, we invite you to a two day workshop on the topic of healing spaces. With the growing need for more therapeutic, spiritual, wellness, and restorative justice spaces, where do we begin to find our way in personal and collective healing?
Hear from two of Connecticut’s leading figures in environmental justice on how progress is made, from the grassroots activist level to the political level. Sharon Lewis introduces us to the work of the CT Coalition for Environmental Justice, describing the ways that they attempt to educate politicians, overcome common roadblocks, and ultimately get attention towards the most relevant issues through strategic communications.
