MAY OASIS NEWSLETTER

There are two conferences listed below.

Steve L and I have been to the Global Summit (below) twice; it’s terrific. I highly recommend it. Put in now for PD money. Even though the other, held at Duke, is for higher ed, it seems a super opportunity to get your athletics dept. involved in and thinking about sustainability!

Global Summit on Climate Education will be held October 24-25, 2025 at Appleby College outside of Toronto, Canada.

The Global Summit is open to all educators across divisions and disciplines interested in learning more about climate change education, which helps students “understand and address the impacts of the climate crisis, empowering them with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to act as agents of change” (UNESCO).

As the result of participant feedback, we have moved this event to the fall so participants can immediately apply their learning to the 2025-26 School Year.

We will be opening the call for presentation proposals in the next month—stay tuned!
