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.

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:Teaching for Community\, Without a Classroom—Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Building Community in the Virtual Classroom\nWhat happens to Place Based Learning when we are sequestered? How do we share the stories that provide understanding of ourselves and our communities? Join us in bringing community\, connection and deeper meaning to the virtual classroom (and beyond). We are harnessing this unprecedented opportunity of crisis and isolation and transforming it into an opportunity to strengthen and restore ourselves\, our students\, and our communities. \nAt the conference\, veteran teachers and other practitioners will share innovative and highly doable ideas that break down physical walls using storytelling techniques that cross disciplines. Conference workshop leaders are longtime CWI associates who come from K-16 classrooms\, administrators concerned with larger issues of equity\, along with community-based educator-innovators from a wide array of fields\, including the arts\, science\, folklore\, social justice\, and more.

SUMMARY:The Joy of Garden-based Education
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Cathy Law\nDate and time: Wednesday\, April 8th\, 2020\, 7:30 p.m. EST \n \nKids are just happier when they are outside learning. Using mother nature as a laboratory setting is an incredible way to engage students in first-hand study of the principles of ecology\, geology\, and climate change. You will learn the fascinating science behind the social\, psychological and physiological benefits of using gardens to teach. Besides\, donning a big grin\, students learn scientific concepts more\neffectively when performing hands-on investigations outside so their grades soar. Outdoor based education is a sure way to nurture global citizens for the stewardship of our planet. You can’t go green without going teen! \nCathy Law teaches Biology\, Earth Science\, and Field Biology at New Paltz High School in New Paltz\, New York. She and her students started the Courtyard Gardens twelve years ago; it features over 200different kinds of plants in 15 themed garden zones. The mission of the garden is to create an outdoor learning center dedicated to understanding and improving the environment and to enable learning that is problem-based and interdisciplinary.

Please refer to the Official Rules for complete eligibility details. \nWhat will your team do?\nYour team will take on the role of innovators and work together to apply biomimicry (nature-inspired innovation) to address a social and/or environmental issue related to climate change adaptation or mitigation. Suggestion: work on an issue that affects your local community! As a coach\, you will guide your students as they study how organisms in nature have adapted to similar problems and challenges and apply what they learn to innovative solutions. Final projects can then be entered into the nationwide competition for prizes awarded by the Biomimicry Institute. \nHow does the Challenge meet instructional goals?\nThe Youth Design Challenge is aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for both middle school and high school. Full alignments can be downloaded below. \n\nNGSS Alignment for High School\nNGSS Alignment for Middle School\nNGSS Alignment for UN Sustainable Development Goals (optional focus)\n\nWhat is required to enter the Challenge?\nEntries are submitted online and include the following elements: \n\nWritten project overview \nProject image\nVideo pitch\nProject portfolio\nTeam photo\n\nFor complete details about requirements\, please visit our Submission Guidelines page.  \nJudging and Awards\nAwards are given each year for 1st\, 2nd\, and 3rd place in two categories: middle school and high school.
