Monthly Workshops Designed to Help You Lead On Environmental Stewardship, Climate Hope, and Water Justice
What You Will Learn
The needs around how we think about and talk through environmental issues have never been more pronounced. From up-to-date content to a better understanding of local and global issues, what we don’t know has real consequences. These three workshops are a chance to change that. With ecotheology resources, enviroSTEM activities, common ground group discussion techniques around faith and science, and service learning projects, you’ll gain the skills and techniques to lead in ways that really matter.
Over three workshops, you’ll gain practical knowledge and actionable next steps – including:
- Interconnectivity – your place among the air, water, land, and living things
- Environmental stewardship and discipleship
- How the language of global responsibility finds space in your calling and vocation
- Engineering design challenges: the work of hands-on creation
- New ways of emodying climate hope in your ministry
- …and so much more!
