SUMMARY:Expressing a youth perspective on climate damage using animation
DESCRIPTION:Don Duncan\, a filmmaker\, journalist and lecturer at Queen’s University will lead a discussion on how young people feel alienated and disenfranchised when it comes to bringing about change in the climate agenda. \nThis event will include a live showcase/presentation of animations produced by young people in Northern Ireland on the subject of climate justice and human rights. This will be followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:The climate crisis and ensuring a just transition beyond carbon
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place at Queen’s University Belfast and will involve panel talks and discussions\, followed by a Q&A session on the crucial role of trade unions in climate action. \nWith growing awareness of the climate crisis\, the focus is now shifting towards climate action and how to transition societies beyond their dependence on fossil fuels. For some this means that this transition is now inevitable. However\, whether it will be “just” is not. This discussion will examine the crucial role of the trades’ union movement (where the idea of a ‘just transition’ originated) in contributing to the political process of managing this transition in a manner that is inclusive\, democratic and where no community or section of society or the workforce is left behind. \nThis event will be led by John Barry\, Professor of Green Political Economy and Co-director of the Centre for Sustainability at Queen’s. Panel members will include Hilary Wainwright\, University of Bradford\, Susan Fitzgerald\, Unite the Union’s Regional Industrial Officer for Northern Ireland\, and Dr. Stiofán Ó Nualláin\, co-director of Trademark Belfast\, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions political education and anti-sectarian unit.

SUMMARY:#CookingUpHappiness
DESCRIPTION:Whilst cooking can help achieve these goals\, we want to shine the spotlight on the enjoyment of cooking\, and the potential positives it can have for one’s wellbeing. \n#CookingUpHappiness is a one-week online\, collaborative social media campaign\, gathering “happy recipes”\, i.e. comfort food recipes\, family recipes passed down\, or simply recipes with happy memories\, with the aim of building an online community recipe book filled with foods to make you happy. Social scientists will also be sharing their research on the area of cooking and wellbeing throughout the week. All of this can be found under the hashtag #CookingUpHappiness. At the end of the week (Fri 12th) we will pick one of the happy recipe submissions which will be cooked up live by a professional chef for everyone to cook along with online. After the week long event\, everyone can access the freely available #CookingUpHappiness recipe book online. \nThis will be led by Dr Fiona Lavelle and Dr Niamh O’Kane from the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast

SUMMARY:Insights and intersections: NI Ethnic Minorities' and Migrants' Relations
DESCRIPTION:This interactive event will bring together individuals\, community groups\, civil society organisations\, policymakers and researchers to discuss the ways migrant and minority ethnic members of NI society:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nmake proactive contributions to activism and philanthropy locally and globally about environmental concerns;\nengage in good environmental practices for the purposes of wellbeing\, enterprise and environmental justice;\nshare insights from those who are in/directly impacted by environmental issues\, including migration from global climate change; access\, participation and exploitation within agriculture\, particularly in terms of how those relations are affected by Brexit\, the hostile environment\, and the purchase of land in a context where farms are often inherited.\n\nThrough this discussion\, it is hoped that fertile ground will be laid for future co-curated research and cross-fertilisation of ways in which to promote inclusive practices within\, and with\, diverse communities. Speakers and audience members will be encouraged to identify important areas\, research questions and partnerships to bridge the current academic research gap about the environment\, which was identified in the project report\, ‘Collation and Mapping of Research related to Migrant and Minority Ethnic Matters in Northern Ireland produced within Northern Ireland’s Universities’ (Lubit & Belluigi\, 2021). \nThis event is hosted by the MME Council in partnership with Queen’s University Belfast.
