The Intergenerational Spring Seminar, hosted by the UUA Office at the UN aims to instill in Unitarian Universalist youth and adults a commitment to global engagement and the skills to take action locally to address global issues.
The 2021 virtual Seminar is proudly co-hosted by the Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth.
The intergenerational seminar is an opportunity to collaborate with others while learning how to be a global activist. Through workshops, peer and expert-led panel discussions, community building activities, and worship services, you will undergo a transformative process of learning, reflection, and growth while exploring some of the most challenging issues facing humanity today.
Programs for the 2021 Intergenerational Seminar are still in the works. Check out the schedule from the 2020 virtual Seminar for a general sense of what types of activities may be included.

Addressing the 2020 theme, Seminar participants considered local and global engagement to take action for climate justice such as centering people most at risk, shifting power away from polluters, and protecting the planet for a sustainable future.
The Seminar is open to anyone age 14 and up, and typically around half of all participants are youth. Safety is our top priority—all attendees should make sure to read our online safety guidelines for youth and intergenerational events.
