Trash Academy will hold reciprocal knowledge exchanges with local neighborhood organizations in Kensington, Fairhill and Harrowgate. There are four parts: engagement, knowledge sharing, a collective/shared action event and coalition building.
* Engagement- is a meeting with representatives from neighborhood groups to share our dumping learnings and plan how to best present it to their community.
* The knowledge sharing -will be whatever suits each group: we can attend a meeting, go to an event or have a special zoom meeting to share dumping data and resources. We will listen to residents best success stories and greatest dumping frustrations. Our upcoming campaign will serve to highlight and uplift the stories of people burdened with repetitive cleaning. Community members will be invited into the campaign (coalition building).
* Based on the feedback, we will put the learnings into an action event-a solution to a specific need that has been identified by the participating groups and residents. In partnership with Team Nas, the event will be held in Collazo Park sometime in the fall in coordination with an already established event they host.
