Contemplative Learning and Living (CL&L), a graduate student organization, and the International Education Policy Student Board are thrilled to host Seeds of Change: A Film Series on Sustainability and Alternatives* in April, featuring three films: Purpose: A Wellbeing Economies Film (4/16), Water Is Love: Ripples of Regeneration (4/23), The Seeds of Vandana Shiva (4/30).

The first two screenings will be followed by a Q&A session with representative(s) from the respective production team, and the last screening will be followed by a discussion among ourselves as a wrap-up of the series. A key objective of this initiative is to spark interdisciplinary dialogues around sustainability and sustainable development.
