NEWSbriefs The Graduate Institute Addresses Global Sustainability Issues
1:00 to 6:00 pm. This is an opportunity for everyone in the community to understand what is happening in our global culture, and to consider how we can all play a part in creating a world that works sustainably for current and future generations. Participants will explore the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century in a workshop that incorporates inspiring video seg-
A
ments, up-to-the-minute facts and figures, and dynamic group interaction. The Symposium features some of the world’s leading experts on important topics, including the current state of the Earth’s biodiversity and the reality of socio-economic disparity throughout the world. The Symposium enables local citizens to share their concerns about the state of the world with like-minded members of the com-
munity, and to offer support for each other in affecting desired changes on a local, societal, and global scale. Participants will leave the Symposium empowered to take clear steps to embody their vision for a better world, having established new connections to work with others on common issues. The Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium is an initiative of The Pachamama Alliance, a San Francisco-based
non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve the Earth’s tropical rainforests by empowering the indigenous peoples who are its natural custodians, and to contribute to the creation of a new global vision of equity and sustainability for all. The vision of the initia- tive is to generate widespread awakening at the grassroots level that leads to a transformation of our worldview, in order that humanity may restore and protect the environment and move toward social justice and spiritual fulfillment.
