Outdoors Appreciation Event
Begins at 12:45pm, Quad next to Malcolm X Plaza
In the rush of school, work, commuting, and daily life, it’s easy to overlook the simple yet powerful act of spending time outdoors. Spending time outdoors has been proven to have various physiological and psychological benefits such as reducing stress levels, improving concentration, and lowering the risk of heart disease. Many Bay Area residents face barriers to accessing green spaces, making it even more essential to create opportunities for connection with nature—something these organizations play a vital role in highlighting. By bringing these organizations together, we’re not just highlighting the importance of getting outside—we’re empowering students with the resources and inspiration to do so. We are giving the chance for students to actively engage, explore, and rediscover the benefits of the outdoors.

ABOUT THE FEATURED FILM:
Basandja (2025), 60min: Directed by Petna Ndaliko and Co-Produced by Friends of the Congo
Basandja explores the methods used by local Congolese communities to establish self-sufficiency, preserve their ancestral land, and maintain sustainable village life while continuing to protect the rainforest. Petna, the film maker, engages Samuel Yagase of GOVA as they explore how to restore what is called “Basandja” – the local traditional code of conduct that governs the management and care of the forest, the waters, and the environment as a whole, even while they are confronted by the violence brought on by Cobalt and other mineral mining.
