Ecocide a success, Ecocultures on the way…
The Ecocide eventat the IDCR was a great success. Over 100 participants attended the one day event, which featured mock legal proceedings, a restorative justice circle, a sentencing, an academic panel and a roundtable discussion of the amazing work of photo journalist Garth Lenz. A full press release is forthcoming!
In a complementary event, the newly founded Essex Sustainability Institute will be hosting an Ecocultures event on 17-18 April 2012, which examines a variety of different ways in which groups and communities at the local level respond to and work within the new confines of environmental change.
The aim of the Ecocultures programme is to synthesise the best current understanding of what it means to be a ‘sustainable community’, how sustainable communities maintain social-ecological resilience, and how we can transfer lessons from these communities to improve ‘mainstream’ policy and practice.
