This workshop, hosted by teen girls from the Black Girls Rising initiative, explores the nexus of teen agency, access to healthy food, and academic research into teenagers and food.
The event showcases teen agency, while presenting new key insights coming out of research into teens and food, as well as providing an opportunity for teens to engage with local government representatives and learn more about how government works so that they are better able to lobby their local leaders.
Both workshops will be run on a World Cafe / Open Space basis, and will cover themes such as what governs the food choices teens make, teens and governance, and teens playing a role in research about teens.
Two editions of this workshop will take place, one at Bertha House in Mowbray on 6 July, and the other at Philippi Village on 13 July. The programme runs 0900 to 1300, with light lunch included from 1300 – 1400.
