Resilience U and
SkillShares
Resilience University (Resilience U) was launched in 2018 as a series of programs aimed at building personal and community resilience in this unsettling time. Call it continuing education for the life skills needed for the 21st century. For 2021,with deep and humbling awareness of the racial and social justice upheaval of the past year, we are motivated to collaborate with Upper Valley Farmers Organizers and Landworkers of Color Collective (UVFOLCC) and Regeneration Corps, two new initiatives that heighten the intersection of food systems, youth, regenerative agriculture and just transition.
The programming connected to this new work will become visible in the coming months as we are able to emerge for the limitations of the pandemic.
