Invitation to Climate Change: Spreading the GOOD News - A Workshop for Science Teachers
DCAN members and supporters are inivited to attend a workshop for science teachers interested in talking publicly about climate change and the actions needed to avoid its worst effects on this Monday 20th September (9:30am- 2pm). Although it is primarily aimed at science teachers, members of climate action groups are also welcome to participate. For details and registration see below.
In short, it is a day for teachers interested in helping to educate the community on the science of climate change. Because we feel that many people are rather disillusioned by the lack of any real action on the political front, we would like to take a more positive approach this time and put the emphasis on what we, as a country, CAN do about the problem - notably ways of moving to large scale renewable energy sources and cutting emissions in other ways.
We are pleased to have Dr Graeme Pearman as our opening speaker. He was chief of the CSIRO Atmospheric Research until 2002 when he resigned amid controversy over the right of CSIRO scientists to speak publicly on matters such as climate change. Since then he has spoken and consulted widely on the issue.
You can email us at sci...@optusnet.com.au for more information or to register for the workshop.
Details: Monday 20th September 2010, 9:30 am to 2:30 pm at Kew High School, High St, Kew (Vic).
Cost: FREE (Including lunch). See flyer attached.
Kind regards
Beck and Carol, for the DCAN team
