Intergenerational Spring Seminar
Register by April 10!
The 2022 Intergenerational Spring Seminar will address the theme “Displacement and Human Rights: All In for Climate Justice.” It will take place online April 22 – May 1, 2022, with an opportunity for congregations to host local in-person gatherings. The UU@UN is excited to be partnering with the Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth, UUSC, and Side With Love on this event. Registration is open now through April 10, 2022 (extended deadline!) with flexible rates.
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 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.
In addition to short blocks of virtual programming throughout the week, the 2022 Seminar offers opportunities for congregations to host local gatherings in-person! Read more about the format for this year's event.
We invite UU congregations to volunteer to host local gatherings to offer local Seminar participants a chance to connect in-person around what they’re learning and do some arts and activism locally.
The Seminar is open to anyone age 14+, and youth make up a large proportion of participants. Safety is our top priority; all attendees should be familiar with our online safety guidelines for youth and intergenerational events.
