One Planet Learning Community Happy Hour
Pk-16 educators interested in bringing a team of students to the One Planet Living Youth Summit are invited to join a monthly (first Tuesday) brainstorm and community building meeting at the site of the April 29th Youth Summit, the Sonoma Mountain Village, from 4:30-5:30 for educators, and 5:30-7:30 for the wider community.
The first hour is a facilitated meeting for teachers to give and receive feedback wherever they are in the process moving toward the Youth Summit on April 29th. We will have resources, and share community updates with each other. The following Happy Hour is a space to bring together educators and members from community organizations, the higher education communities, and the sustainable enterprise communities, all of whom share the common goal of learning from each other to understand and advance sustainable living practices in our communities.
Join (click here) our facebook page to read and hear what we accomplished in our last meeting on November 1st.
