EARTH
Incubator on Climate Change Arkaea Visionary Leadership Series
In this revolutionary two-week Interdisciplinary Incubator to the Ucayali Region of Perú, researchers travel to the indigenous heartland of the Amazon and one of the most biodiverse regions of the planet.
- Witness first-hand both the origins and consequences of climate change in one of the Earth’s environmental fronteirs and learn how it is impacting local and global climate, ecology, and weather patterns.
- Consult with local and indigenous experts and hear powerful stories of resilience from local communities and organizations.
- Collaborate with like-minded peers and mentors to brainstorm creative solutions to our planet’s most urgent dilemmas.
Immersive Phase: Pucallpa and Ucayali
Researchers explore the city of Pucallpa for two days before heading to Santa Clara Shipibo community for a three day immersion of the authentic traditional culture of this unique community. From there, they will travel to specified locations in the Ucayali Region to observe its rich diversity and impact of climate change.
Iterative Phase: Aguas Thermales Reserve
Researchers embark to the Aguas Thermales Reserve “Rainforest campus” to brainstorm with peers solutions to the current crisis in climate change as it afflicts the region. They will also have the opportunity to deeply explore their own intrinsic motivations in their life and work. From there, they will develop a “creative proposition” (ten minute proposal) with feedback from their peers.
Dissemination Phase: Return to Pucallpa
Researchers return to Pucallpa to document their work and findings and then present their creative proposition to local students and teachers in a one day symposium at a local university (tba).
** Arkaea Incubators can be proposed as an independent studies topic or fieldwork opportunity with your university
