Matariki Global Impact Summit

The 2024 Matariki Global Impact Summit: From Theory to Practice is a unique, high impact two-day overnight experience that invites Dartmouth College students to develop social impact leadership skills in conversation with critical social issues facing the world today.

The Summit

Join us at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge and immerse yourself in workshops, discussions, and activities all focused on this year's theme: FOOD!

Workshops will begin with the theory of food systems, sustainable agriculture, climate change and food sovereignty before we learn how these issues impact local Upper Valley practitioners, including farmers, nonprofit organizations, chefs, and community leaders. Before the end of the Summit, you will have the opportunity to engage in a Team Case Study Challenge and explore the complexity of enacting systems level change in our interconnected, global world.
