Sponsored by Rensselear’s Sustainability Studies Program.

This workshop will bring together people involved in education at all levels who are already offering or are interested in sustainability education. Presentations will describe diverse sustainability education initiatives, and visions for expanding sustainability education to students of all ages.   Presentations will be short, with time for discussion about nuts, bolts, challenges and motivations. The goal is to connect people, share ideas and curriculum modules, and advance plans to dramatically and creatively extend sustainability education in New York State.

The workshop is free; advance registration is required.  Lunch will be provided, and childcare will be available.  Register below.

Following the workshop, participants can attend an outdoor world drum concert and musical procession that ends in RPI’s EMPAC concert hall with a performance of Susie Ibarra’s newly commissioned Earth Week tribute, Circadian Rhythms.  The performance will interweave percussion from diverse traditions with diverse animal and bird recordings from Cornell’s Macaulay Library – celebrating biological, cultural and sensory diversity.

For a full description of Earth Week activities at RPI (including a full day of panels, lectures and children’s events on Saturday, April 20), see our Earth Week Festival Events Schedule.
