There has been strong interest in the third Education for Sustainability Conference: connecting classrooms and communities to be held at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Friday 29 October. One of the conference organisers, Ms Jan Page, lecturer at the CSU School of Teacher Education in Bathurst, said, “We have received many registrations for the 2010 conference, but anyone interested can attend on the day. The program explores ways to live lightly on the earth, with presentations by highly-regarded permaculturalist Ms Rosemary Morrow. Other topics include: transition towns, a way communities are meeting the challenges of global warming and peak oil; achieving sustainability through kitchen gardens; eco-literacy – what we need to know; empowering children; and how to build support for your programs. The conference also offers networking opportunities and a range of displays.”
