The keynote speaker, Ash Peplow Ball (Executive Director of Women Transforming Cities) will speak to “How to Build a Movement” and will touch on the central themes of climate action, democratic participation, and movement building rooted in decolonization. The Symposium will also feature presentations from UBC students who participated in immersive community-based placements over the summer in East Africa. They will share their learnings, challenges, and reflections from their experiences with community-based research and learning programs.
