Workshops generally run until 6:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday workshops can be longer and deeper and will be selected fulfill on themes listed on the website. Proposals will be accepted through March 1st.
Interested presenters should fill out the form below and return it to elisabeth@apeiron.org. Questions to ask yourself: Can you inspire bold new beginnings and lifestyle changes? Can you inform about effective approaches to reduce carbon and consumption footprints? Can you speak to everyone to help them make a difference for themselves, RI, Earth?
In conjunction with our work to transform RI into the nation’s 1st sustainable state, we wish to emphasize priority actions, highlight initiatives already in the works or underway. Priority will be given to hands-on demonstrations and interactive learning experiences. We are looking for 1 or 2 hour programs that advance these conversations and call people to action. What’s your vision?
Presenters will be notified of their acceptance by April 1st. A final workshop schedule will be available by April 15th. For further information or workshop consultation, please contact bekah@apeiron.org, elisabeth@apeiron.org or call 401-228-7930.
