SUMMARY:Earth Charter Cities Online Course: Ethics and Urban Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:Ethics and Urban Sustainable Development; The Challenges of Our Time\nCities are full of opportunities\, but they also face many challenges. Rapid urbanization often threatens the environment\, human health\, and fair distribution of resources and funds. This course helps participants develop a broad approach to sustainability and make the EC Principles actionable at an urban level. By creating some space to dive into the theory and good practices\, the course intends to help participants be prepared to develop sustainable and inclusive communities in an era of uncertainty and disruption. It offers a space to learn about the nexus between the Sustainable Development Goals\, the Earth Charter and urban sustainability. \nThis experience seeks to build a pool of experts and consultants with a systemic and ethical approach to sustainability\, who are able to provide quality support and guidance to cities facing challenges during their development and planning process. How do we make cities and human settlements inclusive\, safe\, resilient and sustainable\, interlinking with the other goals \nONLINE & FACILITATED. This Earth Charter Cities Course will equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to take urban sustainability practices to higher levels by using the Earth Charter (EC) and the Earth Charter Cities (ECC) Manifesto. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Village Building Design Course: VBDC
DESCRIPTION:It’s 20th anniversary of the Village Building Convergence!  One of the blessings this pandemic is offering is the time to reflect on our work. While we are needing to adapt to COVID-19\, there are still several ways that we are continuing to support the essence of our work – to deepen relationships with each other and the land. \nWe understand that this is especially important as we find creative ways to hold our needs and desires to be together while we are physically distanced and moving through our collective grief in solidarity. \nWith this in our hearts\, we are transitioning our flagship gathering – the Village Building Convergence (VBC) to a digital gathering. We weighed several options for how to move forward and felt that it is an especially critical time for us to feel connected to each other. So while technology has its host of limitations and problems\, we simultaneously hold our deep desire and sense of responsibility to host community gatherings during this time. \nWe are witnessing a surge in interest in our placemaking and re-villaging models and want to inoculate as many communities with the tools that you need to be able to enable your community to thrive. So we are also adapting our Introductory workshop series to placemaking – the Village Building Design Course (VBDC) for a digital platform. \nWe would love it if you would check it out yourself\, share it with friends\, and on your social media platforms. \nFor more information\, visit our Village Building Convergence website.

SUMMARY:Recipe for Action: Building Food Security in Insecure Times
DESCRIPTION:Even before the Coronavirus pandemic\, our global food system was misguided and destined for failure.

SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop: Coping With Climate Anxiety in the Classroom and for Yourself
DESCRIPTION:The Worry & Hope study at the University of Hawaii revealed a pervasive emotional climate of fear\, anger\, sadness\, shame and hope about climate change. College faculty already knew this\, and are\, themselves\, feeling anxiety\, grief\, and additional stress that accompanies a sense of urgency and responsibility to teach and engage with students about climate change across all academic subject areas. \nThis two hour online workshop is for faculty to address their own emotions so that we can create and hold space in our classrooms for students to integrate and process hard realities about climate change impacts. If not here\, where? If not us\, who? A short overview of research on climate change education and pedagogies will be followed by experiential workshop going through 4 activities that you can then use in your classroom.  The activities are based on recent research as well as ecotherapy\, ecopsychology\, and the Active Hope work of Joanna Macy. \nKrista Hiser is the Director of the University of Hawaii System Center for Sustainability Across the Curriculum (an AASHE Regional Center). She is also a longtime Professor of writing and teaches climate change communication\, project-based sustainability capstone\, and climate fiction. \nA Zoom link\, some view-ahead materials\, and technology requirements will be forward to registered participants. Video connectivity is required\, and participants must attend the entire 2 hour workshop to preserve the interactive online engagement.

SUMMARY:The Virtual Ecosystem Scenario Viewer
DESCRIPTION:Please join a special webinar tomorrow: \nTuesday\, June 16\, at 2 pm EDT \nThe Virtual Ecosystem Scenario Viewer:\nA new tool for visualizing marine ecosystem models\nSpace is Limited! Reserve Your Seat Today! \nTo successfully monitor and recover marine species requires an understanding of the entire ocean ecosystem and the suite of impacts on their survival. Toward this end\, NOAA uses sophisticated modeling tools that incorporate population biology and a range of climate\, environmental\, ecological and human impacts to the ocean. The complexity of these models – making them so robust – limits the ability of most peple to understand them. The Virtual Ecosystem Scenario Viewer (VES-V) is an exciting new interactive visualization tool that show the results of these complex modeling dynamics in an easy-to-view manner. \nVES-V illustrates the responses of virtual marine ecosystems to a range of living marine resource management scenarios. These visualizations help all people see the application of models in managing marine resources\, and explore tradeoffs among scenarios in making decisions effecting our nation’s marine ecosystems. This tool demonstrates how we can better present and visualize marine ecosystems\, their marine resources\, and their collective responses to a range of pressures. VES-V holds enormous potential as an intuitive interactive problem based visualization tool for students and the public. \nFind out more about this exciting new tool!

SUMMARY:Are We Still Fighting Slavery in 2020?
DESCRIPTION:The national discourse surrounding police brutality and the criminal justice system is bringing more attention to the United State’s system of mass incarceration. The U.S. makes up about 4.25% of the total world population\, yet 1 out of 5 prisoners in the world are incarcerated in the United States. \nWhy is that? \nOn April 8th\, 1964\, The 13th Constitutional Amendment was passed which stated\, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude\, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted\, shall exist within the United States\, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” This meant that slavery was abolished with an exception; the exception of those who have been deemed criminals. \nIn 2020\, as we try to understand police brutality and how it supports mass incarceration\, it is essential that we dissect if these systems are feeding into an institution of slavery with a precedent set by the 13th amendment. \nOur films Restorative Justice\, Justice in Crisis and Immigrant Prisons were produced to ignite and fuel these necessary conversations. \nClick Here to use one of our films\, bringing our social justice documentaries and curriculum to your classroom.
