Dear DCAFVM colleagues
The Arrell Food Institute and OAC are offering a great opportunity for outstanding graduate students in the new Net-Zero Food Systems Challenge and we are hoping each of you can promote this to students in your faculties (please see below for details and links for applications).
The application deadline is Jan 13 - and so we are hoping you can raise awareness now before the break if possible.
We don't want great students to miss out and anything that you can do to promote this will make a difference.
Thank you all.
Rene

To continue to support, empower, and appreciate the multi-faceted Black experiences, the University of Manitoba Black Alliance (UMBA), in partnership with the Afro-Caribbean Mentorship Program (ACMP), has organized a FREE movie screening of The Woman King. The event will include an open and thought-provoking discussion surrounding historical and current African and Black lived experiences. Although the film focuses on a historical narrative that is inspired by true events in Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries, it does illustrate themes such as gender, sexuality, colonialism, and the African slave trade, which we can all learn and begin to understand the African-Black identity beyond what many of us already know. These themes will encourage critical thinking about what "Blackness" means in our Winnipeg community. Our goal is to foster an inclusive and safe space for students (secondary and post-secondary), professionals and community members from all walks of life to communicate, appreciate, learn, and discuss the Black experiences. We use this film not only to entertain our guests but also to encourage critical thinking.
