We live in challenging, changing, and uncertain times. Fortunately, Albertans have the strengths, stability and stamina to deal with these volatile times. We have the resources needed to plan the next Alberta in ways that are adaptive, deliberative and wise.
That vision inspired a public lecture in Calgary (May 31) and in Edmonton (June 1) entitled “Learning Our Way to the Next Alberta.” We have three internationally renowned expert speakers. Gwynne Dyer author of “Climate Wars,” David Peat, author of “From Certainty to Uncertainy” and Scott Murray, a literacy expert and researcher who has studied impacts and implications of low literacy levels on Alberta’s economy and competitiveness.
These speakers are very familiar with Alberta. They will share perceptions, trends and ideas about the potential of a learning culture in our province. It will be an informative and engaging evening with a focus on how we go about “Learning Our Way to the Next Alberta” together.
Space is limited so we encourage early registration. For more information and online registration please CLICK HERE
Ken, keep us posted on what Dyer has to say about the tar sands, global warming and global security threats.
ReplyDeleteHi Ken -
ReplyDeleteWhat do you have in mind for people to contemplate what they know and understand differently as a result of the lectures? A lecture is the "old" way of learning, and offers minimal opportunity for people actually notice what they are learning.
Great initiative - hoping to hear that learning is designed in to the experience.
