This from the OSLIST today…

You are invited to the 1st anniversary Convocation of the U.S. Partnership for the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development – hosted by the EPA in Raleigh, NC!

In addition to updates on Partnership progress this past year, March 1-2 will be a series of OpenSpace gatherings around issues and topics that participants put on the table ahead of time. EVERYONE WELCOME!

Given this group’s passionate participation and experience, I’m really hoping that any of you interested in sustainability, in any of its myriad forms, who can make it to Raleigh will join us.

For one example, with Raphael Peter of Asheville I’m anchoring an Open Space on intergrating the arts across the sustainability movement. Other areas already on the table include the business community, k-12 education, community-based learning, faith-based and -related movements, higher education – we’d love someone to take a lead on green building, sustainable agriculture, health, marketing/advertising – what else can you creative folks think of?
