Revisioning Education with Eco-Literacy and Social Justice in Mind
Tweet Share
Legendary educator David Orr says that all education is environmental education by what it includes or excludes. If we’re to surmount the daunting challenges facing us and build a thriving “green,” fairer and more compassionate civilization, transforming how we educate our youth may well be the single most important task facing us. Luckily, there are at all levels of the educational system a growing number of heartening, inspiring initiatives working to incorporate ecological literacy, sustainability, justice and equity in both curricula and in the governance of pedagogic institutions. Hosted by Karen Cowe, CEO of Ten Strands, which works to teach environmental literacy to all California K12 students. With: Cynthia Selin, Associate Professor at ASU’s School of Sustainability; Shakti Butler, founder and President of World Trust.
Location: Manzanita Room
