Name: Radically Rural Summit
Start: 2024-09-25T09:00:00-04:00
Location: 25 Roxbury Street, 03431

Join us for an immersive 2024 Radically Rural Summit as we explore ways to regenerate rural across sectors. Regeneration is about radical change, but it is also about considering the ideas, cultures, and dreams that came before and have nourished our rural realities today.
As we all grapple with the political and social divides in our communities, we will look to history with a screening of and discussion about Join or Die, a documentary following the research of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, which explores the decline of social capital and how we can reverse it.
We will also look to the future through our keynote panel as we hear from rural leaders across the country who are actively reweaving the social fabric through innovative methods of youth engagement, health access, equity and belonging, food justice, and more.
We will have 20 innovative sessions across our seven tracks: All in for Health, Arts & Culture, Clean Energy, Community Journalism, Entrepreneurship, Land & Community, and Main Street. Stay tuned for detailed session descriptions!
As always, you will leave feeling energized, inspired, and equipped with tangible skills and concrete models for the work you are doing.
