About the workshop:

L’environnement, c’est intersectionnel (L’ECI)’s workshop invites people to reframe their understanding of environmental justice through discussions. While presenting concepts such as intersectionality and food sovereignty, its goal is to solidify our understanding of links between different forms of environmental violence and how they operate, centring social impacts. After dismantling problematic solutions, it opens the ongoing conversation of potential ways to resist.
