How do we move from outrage to meaningful, grounded action? This reflective, hands-on workshop explores how environmental resistance begins with place—and with the stories, memories, and responsibilities we carry. Through role-play, mapping, and dialogue, participants will examine their own relationships to land, community, and power. Drawing from decolonial cartographies—an Indigenous-led approach to reclaiming maps as tools of care and sovereignty—this session unpacks how documenting and revisiting territories can serve as resistance. Participants will ask: What counts as knowledge? Who decides what gets mapped? How do we act with courage and integrity in a time of crisis? Designed for youth ready to move beyond performative action and toward strategies that are ethical, embodied, and rooted in lived experience.
