SEEDS 2009 Weekend Workshop Schedule
This year SEEDS has brought its Weekend Workshops together around two interrelated but distinct issue areas, in the form of two day-long programs. The first program, which begins on Saturday, Sept. 12, focuses on the way in which social ecology may further develop and inform activism within the growing climate justice movement. The second program, on Sunday, Sept. 13, is focused on a redefinition of community development that culminates with a roundtable discussion on community self-management.

We're also expanding our workshop offerings this year by presenting a day-long program entitled Vision for Vashon and Beyond on Friday, September 11 that highlights community transition and transformation, grass-roots sustainability efforts, and organizing skills.

This program is intended as a follow-up event to the Vision for Vashon Process. Friday evening Dan Chodorkoff, co-founder of the Institute for Social Ecology, will give a public talk on Social Ecology and the Triple Crisis: Saving the Planet and Ourselves at 7 pm at the Land Trust Building.
