Michigan alum Phimmasone Kym Owens, director of the Refugee Garden Initiative, will speak on her experience as a refugee and as the creator of an interconnected space active in sustaining community, culture, and relationships with the Earth through gardening.
During U-M Climate Week, we hope to empower you to use resources at hand to creatively respond to local sustainability issues. Learn about ways to support refugee communities and the international community at large through campus organizations. Our hope is that, through this engagement opportunity, students and others will understand that our globally connected campus can be a model for change at the local level.
Join us in person for the talk, followed by light fare catered by Siam Square. Or, join via Zoom (see link above).
