Are you wondering how to launch a small business or not-for-profit project with an environmental and social mission?
How can you line up your values with the way you make a living?
Join us for this inspiring residential workshop, evening of Friday, April 30-Sunday May 2, 2010 at Kananaskis Wilderness Hostel.
The old economic structures are no longer working, but the new structures have not yet been created. This is the struggle for many young professionals in Canada who are seeking meaningful work and "Green Jobs" that allow us to do work that is in line with personal values for social justice and environmental integrity.
The purpose of this 2.5 day retreat is to provide a forum for young professionals in Alberta (~ages 20-35, but open to all) to spend a weekend with like-minded peers and inspiring professionals, deeply engaging with questions around vocation, sustainability, and social innovation. Join us for this unique opportunity to:
- incubate innovation in an inspiring setting
- explore your own leadership style
- develop your own ideas for creative social and environmental projects
- learn about upcoming trends in the environmental careers sector
- connect with others from a variety of backgrounds and start building a community of practice... and much more!
