Minnesota Schools Cutting Carbon

The Will Steger Foundation is proud to announce our 4th annual Summer Institute for Climate Change Education on Wednesday August 19th, 8:30-4:30 pm at the University of Minnesota, featuring polar explorer Will Steger and writer and activist Bill McKibben. We hope you will join us!

Applications are currently available for download: www.globalwarming101.com
Registration opens in May for 100 onsite participants ($75/teacher or $100/pair) and an unlimited number of participants for our online webinar ($25/teacher). Onsite participants will receive a free full-color copy of our Citizen Climate Curriculum. Online participants will be able to download the curriculum free of charge from the Global Warming 101 website.

The Institute will highlight the critical need for international cooperation on climate change solutions, and equip educators with the tools necessary to empower student learning and leadership on the topic. Educators will also learn about the Midwest youth delegation to Copenhagen, led by the Will Steger Foundation, and ways that they can follow the youth experience online through multi-media dispatches including text, images, and video. The Summer Institute will include breakout sessions on topics addressed in the curriculum, including cap and trade vs. carbon tax; equity in negotiation; climate technologies; carbon cycle and more.
