FIRST CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
All Our Futuresı
8-11 September 2008, University of Plymouth
There is increasingly abundant and convergent evidence from climate change scientists that human-induced global heating is irreversible in the foreseeable future and that, at best, a narrowing window of opportunity remains for warding off the most cataclysmic impacts on the planetary and human condition.
The aim of the conference will be to explore, in this context, how to shape and deliver an anticipatory education for sustainable futures. All aspects and levels of education will be on the conference agenda; but there will be particular emphasis on the contribution to be made by the universities and other institutions of higher education.
The conference will include a range of presentations: papers, posters and workshops, together with work for exhibition and presentations in the visual and performing arts. The conference is being organised by the Centre for Sustainable Futures, University of Plymouth, in association with Kingston University, the Ecoversity, Bradford and the Higher Education Academy ESD Project.
