Hello LFS Graduate Department,

 

We hope this email finds you well!

My name is Jastina and I am part of the organizing team for LCOY Canada 2023 and a fellow LFS member (undergraduate student)!

 

LCOY Canada 2023 is a youth-led climate change conference, operating under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Our conference provides a platform for Canadian youth (ages 15 – 35) and youth entities to share experiences, collaborate on climate action, strengthen networks, and advocate for youth policy demands. This national event will take place on Saturday, September 16th from 8:30AM – 4:30PM PT/11:30AM – 7:30PM ET in a hybrid event format combining in-person and virtual event elements, hosted by the Human and Nature Youth Club and the UBC Faculty of Forestry.

The organizing team has been following your impactful work in your community and would like to extend an invitation for you to join us as a panel session speaker at LCOY Canada.

The panel session is a dynamic and interactive discussion-based session, where youth from across the country engage with panelists on topics that are critical to our collective future. Each session lasts for approximately one hour and features 3-4 speakers.

We have identified several thematic areas where LCOY will look upon for discussion and we would be honoured if we could connect with some of your Graduate students or research assistants who would be willing to share their expertise on Food and Agriculture as a panelist.

If you know anyone who might be interested, it would be great if you could either forward our email to them or just give us their email and we will connect with them instead.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thank you for your time,

Jastina Maranjyan
