After Dark: Conversations About Landscape

Tonight, join Mycelium Youth Network on an epic quest . . . to the magical realm of Oakland! As a part of their Gaming for Justice (G4J) program, MYN will present an interactive, virtual Dungeons and Dragons - based adventure that immerses players in one of several ecological and social movements from Oakland’s history. The G4J program offers youth and adults alike a way to imagine themselves as the heroes of the climate movement, and to build new worlds through imaginative game play.

Mycelium Youth Network (MYN) prepares East Bay youth - who are most vulnerable to and already feeling the effects of environmental racism - for climate change. Their programs draw on Indigenous traditions that emphasize youth environmental stewardship, in combination with a rigorous STEAM curriculum. MYN empowers youth to grow as visionary leaders and budding environmentalists, connect with ancestral teachings, and trust in the wisdom of the natural world.
