Maine Food Convergence Virtual Convenings
February 15 - March 11

Statewide via Zoom - The Maine Food Convergence, a collaborative of 5 Maine food and climate networks, is convening organizations, networks, and groups in a series of interactive virtual networking events in February and March 2021. A wide variety of Maine food system colleagues will gather to focus on:
- Top priorities in the Maine food system identified through 2020 Regional Dialogues
- Collective group work and action planning
- Systems that support ongoing collaboration
The Convergence stands apart from other virtual events for a unique focus on relationship building and facilitated storytelling led by the Maine Environmental Changemakers Youth Network, Maine Youth for Climate Justice, and Maine Wabanaki REACH. Participants will hear from new voices across the Maine food system and co-create action plans for working together across the intersections between Maine’s food, climate, and justice movements. Racial Equity and Justice of Bangor will provide a framework for centering diversity, equity and inclusion throughout the Convergence. This is the beginning, as the Convergence aims to build long-term structures for greater collaboration and collective impact.
