The Midwest Regional Collaborative for Sustainability Education 2010 Summer Conference will be held July 26 to 30, at the ConserveSchool— nestled among beautiful glacial lakes just west of Land O’ Lakes, Wisconsin.
 
At MRCSE, we believe that learning is at the heart of change. The MRCSE conference is designed for those seeking a space to discover and experience new ways of learning and collaboration that can catalyze a sustainable future for all.  Our format is open, the agenda co-created, and the dialog transformative.  Our aim -- individual and community regeneration.
 
This year’s conference will explore the role of assets identification and exchange in sustainable community development.  We encourage you to attend this workshop to:

  • discover the power of systems thinking
  • experience transformative learning techniques
  • find a team of co-collaborators, build innovations, and take action towards a sustainable future
  •  help build a lasting learning community for change

All workshop participants will be eligible to seek seed grant funds to support innovate strategies birthed at the conference.  Limited workshop scholarships are available.  Graduate credit for workshop participation will be offered.
