Embracing Sustainability: Insights from the 2012 Education for Sustainability Institute

The 2012 Education for Sustainability Summer Institute at the University of Manitoba emphasized the urgent need for sustainable living. Grounded in Indigenous wisdom from Chief Seattle, the institute fostered contemplative practices, group discussions, and reflections on the interconnectedness of all life. Participants explored critical environmental issues and engaged with influential environmentalists like David Suzuki. With a focus on collective action, attendees were encouraged to share their thoughts, questions, and insights to inspire a movement toward a more sustainable future.
