• Ecology of Communities

Thank you for joining us for the 42nd annual NEEEA conference! The NEEEA 2008 Conference Committee, comprised of the Board and members of New Hampshire Environmental Educators (NHEE), is pleased to invite you to the Sargent Center to take a close look at strategies for building communities around basic ecological principles. We invite you to explore approaches for creating and nurturing communities through systems thinking. Opportunities for exchange with groups outside the usual EE circle will help us investigate ways to bring about change in our own backyards. We hope our theme “A Journey Home: Fostering Ecologically Centered Communities” will promote a positive spirit of collaboration as we join together to share, brainstorm, and work toward environmental education for the Common Good!

In addition to professional development opportunities, we have included time to build community and nurture ourselves, to return to our jobs renewed.” right after this sentence “Opportunities for exchange with groups outside the usual EE circle will help us investigate ways to bring about change in our own backyards.
