Plenary: Where we are headed to / KAIROS 20th anniversary
Channel: KAIROS Canada
Date: 2021-11-08

As we mark KAIROS’ 20th anniversary, we envision what we want the next twenty years to look like. Meet activists who are in the thick of the work, in the areas of global and domestic Indigenous rights, gender justice, ecological justice, rights for migrant workers and more. They will share their visions of what we can accomplish together because KAIROS is nothing if not rooted in doing and accomplishing great things “together.” Join us not only to dream of a better 2041, but to envision how we can make it a reality, together. The kairos time for bold next steps is now leading us to where we are headed to.
