Education in a Changing Climate

July 27 - August 2, 2008, Unity, Maine

Education in a Changing Climate is a week-long workshop that takes place at Unity College in Maine. Designed for educators of all kinds, the workshop challenges participants to teach about the environment in innovative ways and aspires to find new audiences and venues for environmental learning. The workshop is co-sponsored by Unity College and The Orion Society, publisher of Orion magazine.

Through field-based learning, conversations, and presentations, participants will use their creativity and imagination to develop skills that help them bring urgent environmental issues—especially climate change—into their classrooms, nature centers, zoos, museums, and curriculum. Core faculty includes scientist Nalini Nadkarni, writer/activist Janisse Ray, writer/educator Lowell Monke, and Carey E. Stanton of the National Wildlife Federation.

Unity College is located in a beautiful setting in mid-coast Maine, surrounded by farms, forests, and rolling hills, with close proximity to the mountains, islands, and seacoast.
