The Sixth Annual Service-Learning and Indigenous Communities Forum
Wednesday, April 27, 2011
8:30 AM – 1:00 PM
World Beat Cultural Center
San Diego, California
You are invited to participate in the Sixth Annual Service-Learning and Indigenous Communities Forum to be held on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 at the World Beat Cultural Center in San Diego, California. The Forum will be sponsored by Learn and Serve America and the Hawaii Pacific Islands Campus Compact and hosted by San Pasqual Band of Diegueno Mission Indians. It will be part of the 14th Annual Continuums of Service Conference.
The Forum will focus on the Indigenous perspectives of environmental sustainability. Our Indigenous Communities are especially vulnerable to environmental conditions such as climate change and insufficient access to clean water. The results include disrupting major food supply chains and health issues such as asthma, digestive and circulatory problems, metabolic disorders, and cancer. This Forum will engage in a discussion of possible solutions through the use of Service-Learning and will provide examples of how Service-Learning has been incorporated into a variety of STEM disciplines to play a role in addressing environmental sustainability.
To register for the Forum and the Conference and for hotel registration information, please visit: http://www.wacampuscompact.org/cosconference
General registration closes April 11, 2011. Registration after April 11, 2011 incurs a $50 late fee.
