Join us April 23-27, 2024 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the UCSC Right Livelihood Center, inaugurate our new role as Global Secretariat of the Right Livelihood College network, and launch a set of faculty-Laureate research clusters and an international student network.
Conference tracks:
(1) We’ll be joined by two Right Livelihood Laureates for the week: 2023 Kenyan Laureate Phyllis Omido, “the Erin Brockovich of East Africa” and 1998 Chilean Laureate Juan Pablo Orrego, popular singer and environmental activist. Phyllis and Juan Pablo will speak at our two largest events — Wednesday, April 24th at the UCSC Silicon Valley Campus and Thursday, April 25th at UCSC — about extractivism and particularly raising questions about the possibilities and challenges of lithium extraction in California.
(2) Students from the Right Livelihood Club are hosting a weeklong student-led convergence with youth representatives from five delegates from the Global Campus of Human Rights and eight delegates from the Right Livelihood Colleges in Chile, Argentina, Nigeria, India, Thailand, Sweden, Germany, and Switzerland. The convergence will be the launch of an ongoing RLC student network.
