The mission of Roots & Routes IC (Roots and Routes Intercultural Collaborations) is to facilitate sharing knowledge between diverse cultures en route to responsibly stewarding a flourishing living world. We envision a world where people are united arm-in-arm to form an Indigenous-led and youth-inspired educational exchange network that teaches the world that we are worth more than the resources below our feet. We facilitate networks, exchanges, collaborations, and campaigns for people to speak for themselves and learn to listen to one another. We are collectively creating Roots and Routes together by unearthing empathy, understanding the wisdom within each and every one of us, and cultivating respect in relation to one another and the living world around us. Collaborative roots brought us to where we are and are at the core of our future routes as well.
