Sustainability Education Intensive

The second annual Sustainability Education Intensive, which transpired May 30 – June 1, was another success! This year brought together 15 participants from various disciplines ranging from Business to Population and Public Health, and 4 institutions, including the College of the Rockies, Mohawk College, the University of Windsor and UBC. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward in supporting the participants in developing and implementing their projects going forward!

Thank you to everyone who spread the word about the SEI, attended as a presenter, nominated a participant to attend, and everyone else who helped make the SEI awesome!

If you are interested in being part of our third SEI in 2011, contact Angela at tag.sustainability (at) ubc.ca

Over the next little while we will be setting up a few Support Studios for SEI participants to troubleshoot and get more feedback for their projects, happening July 8 and November 1.

For those keen on seeing how the participant projects turn out – save the date for the SEI Project Showcase on January 11, 2011, 10:00am-2:00pm – everyone is invited!

On a similar note, we would like to highlight the successes of a closely related initiative: Sustainability Education Across the Province (SEAP-BC) Train the Trainer Workshop. It transpired two weeks before the SEI and brought together 30 champions from 11 post-secondary institutions across the province to learn about how they can advance sustainability education (with workshops like the SEI) at their own institution.
