A powerful and engaging Symposium was embedded in Portland State University’s inaugural celebration of National Sustainability Education Week: Educating for Citizen Leadership. Several participating youth, young adults, and young at heart expressed enthusiasm to bring the Symposium to a younger audience with their reignited hope “committed in action,” as Julia Butterfly Hill invites. The Portland facilitator team, Earth Wisdom Alliance, hosted & facilitated the November 14th Symposium, which they’d collaborated on for several months. The local inter-generational Youth Initiative team met on November 24 developing plans for five Symposiums in the coming year with connections to a variety of other youth related organizations.
