Achieving sustainability in a globalised world
- what role for environmentalists?
A National Conference, hosted by the state and
national community environment organisations*
http://www.enviroconf.com/enviroconf/index.htm

Friday 7 to Sunday 9 September 2001
University of Melbourne

The local and the global are merging. What are our roles as environmentalists in this changing environment? And what is genuine sustainability anyway?

If you are protesting in the streets, hassling your local government, in partnership for a better environment, or deeply concerned and want to be more effective, this conference is for you.

It is your conference

The conference will use the exciting Œopen space¹ process to engage you - as much as you want to be - on the topics you want to talk about. You are the expert: it is your experience, your needs, your questions, your distress, your achievements and your passion that counts.

People invited

• overseas participants to help us 'put a face on globalisation';
• elders to help us reflect on where we have come from;
• young people to help us see what we have to do;
• trainers to improve our skills: using the media, avoiding burn-out,
  campaign planning, mentoring, roles of boards, bringing about a learning culture.
  

Costs including all food and celebratory dinner: un-waged $50 (limit of 40% of places), part-wage or employee of community environment organisation $110 (limit of 40% of places), full wage $220
