Event Details
Submitted by the Event Organizer
Join Save the Bay and Mycelium Youth Network’s youth storytellers as they guide you through a collaborative narrative wherein you will reimagine your relationship to the shoreline, take tangible action towards restoration, and have fun!
Why the Shoreline?
The MLK Jr. Regional Shoreline is one of the only green spaces accessible to East Oakland, and it is important for us not just to conserve the place as-is, but to freedom dream about what it could be and how it can support our resilience. Twelve youth storytellers from Mycelium Youth Network’s Leadership in Storytelling have been collaborating with Save the Bay to help preserve and restore this site for our local community members, animal and plant relatives, and future generations to continue being supported by, and living in harmony with, the land.
The Quest Itself
This event features a morning session (10am-12pm) and an afternoon session(1pm-3pm). As an adventuring party, you will be led along the Shoreline, through a fantasy story inspired by local lore and ecological memory. Your leaders will task you as a group with solving a dilemma that is troubling the community, and it’s up to the voices of YOUR group to determine the way this story ends…
After completing the quest, adventurers will be guided to the Resilience Village to celebrate with community vendors and more family-friendly activities!
Gathering Our Party
Our 12 brave youth leaders have spent the last few months planning and producing this Community Day of Action, combining live-action role-playing, freedom dreaming, habitat restoration, and education in creative ways to ignite your imaginations! Adventurers of all ages, from across the Bay, are welcome to join this FREE event.
Spaces are limited for each session. If you are registering for multiple people (ex: a family unit), select tickets for each person over the age of 9 years old.
