From the organizer:
This workshop is the first of four that are planned to take place between now and June 2009. The emphasis will be on a positive and creative approach. Results from the workshop process will be given to the City for consideration in their own future planning process that is taking place right now called Choosing Our Future. We will also be using the outcomes of the workshop process in other ways as well.
In the morning we will hear about oil issues and their potential impact on our society, and then about what some countries in Europe have done and are doing to meet the future in a positive way. After lunch, we will have a session together to look at the “big picture” ramifications and systemic connections of these issues as they affect our city. Then everyone will split into separate groups dealing with different aspects of basic human needs – Energy, Food, Water, Shelter, Biodiversity – for 20 minute rotations, so that each participant will have a chance to brainstorm on every one of these areas within the context of climate change, oil insecurity, food and water security. We will not be reaching final conclusions, but making a start at a complicated and in-depth look at finding positive solutions to the very overwhelming influences that will impact our lives over the next decades.
