Invitation!




SENSE (Sustainability
Education in Nova Scotia for Everyone)
would like to invite you to attend the Halifax Sustainability Education
Networking Meeting on Wednesday,
February 18, 2009 from 10am to 3pm at the Canadian Centre for
Ethics in Public Affairs (see directions below).

 

The keynote speaker will be Lynn Hartwell with the Nova
Scotia Department of Community Services who will speak about the Social
Perspectives of Sustainable Prosperity (linking environment-economic-social).
More information can be found at www.gov.ns.ca/coms/department/documents/Weaving_the_Threads.pdf

 

Sustainability education focuses on three pillars to form a
sustainable society: environmental, social and economical. At this networking
meeting we will be concentrating on the sustainability of the social pillar. 

 

Jonathan Feldgajer, Education Coordinator with CPAWS, Julianne
Acker-Verney with FEED NOVA SCOTIA and Michael
Poworoznyk with Metro Turning Point will also be speaking this day.

 

Networking meetings for formal, non-formal and information
educators provide a great opportunity to learn from one another, share
resources and organize our activities with the aim of advancing all of our
visions and missions. It’s a great chance to see what organizations, groups and
businesses are doing in relation to sustainable education in and around
Halifax.

 

Bring your business cards and materials to share with
others. Catered lunch will be provided.
