Initiative connecting students with peers
The Art for Nature – Ideas for our Future initiative connects students in Santa Fe with peers in Richmond, Virginia; Birmingham, Alabama; and Boise, Idaho, to exchange ideas on sustainability and climate action.
The program is coordained by POCACITO, a nonprofit focused on environmental education and transatlantic collaboration, which is funded by Germany’s Federal Foreign Office. The November workshop and opening at SFCC are hosted by SFCC, POCACITO and the Anti-Uranium Project.
