Hosted from October 21 – 22, 2011 in New Orleans at the historic French Quarter hotel the Omni Royal Orleans, this training will include Roots & Shoots workshops including:

      Planning themed service learning projects through semester or year-long campaigns;

·         Collaborating with administrators to set up structures for service learning;

·         Developing strong holistic school to community relationships; and

·         So many more!

The Summit features two keynote presentations including one by the Jane Goodall Institute’s own research videographer and wildlife cameraman, Bill Wallauer, and the Make It Right Foundation’s Landscape Architect Tim Duggan. Sharing different stories, with similar messages, these presentations will cover how involving communities in conservation leads to lasting change and sustainable development.
