Experiential Education is becoming an increasingly important component of college education. Using the programmatic interests of participants as a guide, this workshop will introduce the concept of Communities of Practice in experiential education and actually develop them across participating institutions. Prior to the Workshop, you will join a virtual team to meet and discuss common issues. Once arriving at the workshop you will have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one interactions with participants and workshop leaders and in facilitated, learning-team dialogues on key issues. The workshop itself will provide a model of a community of practice with whom to share plans, activities, and assessment tools well into the future. Participation in this workshop will be limited in order to form small teams and experience our theme of building communities.

Energy Action and the Campus Climate Challenge present RISING TO THE CHALLENGE- a week of action!

America and Canada's youth are calling for five days of demonstrations to jumpstart the second semester of the Campus Climate Challenge and put the heat on a new U.S. Congress and a returning Canadian Parliament to begin aggressive national power shifts on global warming. The first 1,000 campuses who register (click the button below) will be offered the chance to host a free campus screening of "An Inconvenient Truth". In December, a wide cross-section of young activists took part in a national brainstorm to come up with the theme "Rising to the Climate Challenge: Visions Of Our Future."

January 29th through February 2nd young people will speak to their campus and political leaders about how the decisions they make today will directly affect the world we inherit tomorrow.

Picture life on your campus after we've all grown up and today's political and campus leaders are written about in the history books. Will it be a future of hope or one of hardship? It depends on how we act today when faced with great challenges. Schools are planning a wide range of actions from those that convey hope for a future beyond the climate crisis to visions of hardship resulting from lost opportunities. Rising to the Climate Challenge is meant to be a week at the crossroads of action and inaction.
