GLAGcreates is a platform to bring together the arts with the sciences to tackle the wicked challenge of food security. Our goal is to provide an opportunity to specifically address a 21st century approach to building skills in creativity and collaboration!
The Global Teach Ag Network is thrilled to partner with the Poetry X Hunger Initiative to bring this to our GLAG educator family. This is also a way of helping our educators in times of COVID. The self-guided student modules are available to EVERYONE right now! You do need to register for #GLAG21 to submit entries to the Poetry Event.

Below is some information about last week's Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week by St. John's Community Services:
Homelessness can happen to anyone at any age. Many people live one paycheck or one life event away from losing everything. Can you find it in your heart to help the vulnerable individuals and families affected by homelessness? Your gift today can ensure men, women, and children experiencing homelessness have a safe place to shelter and food to eat. Any amount will help, but $25 will provide five meals for someone in need, $75 will provide a week's worth of groceries for an individual in our Oasis program, or a gift of $100 will ensure an individual experiencing homelessness will have a safe place to sleep in our shelter. Here's an hour long program, sponsored by the eXtension Foundation, with tips on including poetry as a tool in agricultural workshops, training sessions and classrooms. Take a look!

If you help guide classroom or workshop discussions focused on food, agriculture, farming, hunger, nutrition or related topics, you may want to tune in an upcoming webinar titled, "Poetry & Extension: Poetry as a tool in Extension Programs." It will be held on Thursday, Nov 5 from 2 - 3 pm East Coast Time US.
Hosted by the good folks at eXtension, the webinar is free, but registration is required.
