Celebrating IYRP 2026: A TRU Film Festival
Date & Time: April 23rd, 2026, 6:30 PM-8:30 PM
Location: TRU Campus (Clocktower Room, CT T200)
Hosted by: TRU GCC Student Chapter in collaboration with GCC

Join us for an engaging evening of short films to celebrate the "International year of Rangeland & Pastoralists" to explore diverse cultural landscapes including the local North American contexts. In this curated film festival, we will “travel” through multiple regions and perspectives, gaining insight into the lives, knowledge systems, and resilience of pastoralist communities and more.

Through a series of short films and discussions, this event will highlight:

The role of pastoralists in global food security
The importance of sustainable grazing systems in supporting ecosystems
How pastoral communities adapt to climate change and environmental challenges
The need for stronger representation in policy and decision-making

This event is inspired by the Pastoralist Film Festival and connects to the global momentum of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026, as well as several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Whether you are a student, researcher, or community member, this is a unique opportunity to learn, reflect, and engage in meaningful conversations about land stewardship, livelihoods, and sustainability.

What to Expect:

A curated selection of short films (approx. 70-90 minutes total)
Brief facilitated discussions and reflections
A welcoming space for students and community members

Admission: Free and open to all
