Youth 4 Action Workshop – Toronto
“Roots creep
underground everywhere
and make a firm
foundation.
University of Toronto – Earth Sciences Centre (5 Bancroft Ave.)
Saturday, April 18th, 2009
Shoots seem very weak,
but to reach the light they
can break open brick
walls.
DESCRIPTION:
Want to change the world? Join us at the Roots & Shoots “Youth 4 Action”
workshop on Saturday, April 18, 2009 at the University of Toronto, in the
Earth Sciences Centre.
Imagine that the brick
walls are all the problems
we have inflicted on our
planet.
Community experts and students will contribute to in-depth workshops to
explore and create plans for action on various current issues affecting
people, animals and the environment.
Hundreds and thousands
of roots and shoots,
hundreds and thousands
of young people around
the world, can break
through these walls.
You can change the
world.”
Dr. Jane Goodall
