The Donella Meadows Institute (Norwich, Vermont), in collaboration with ACTIS and the Alliance for Global Sustainability (a university partnership between the ETH Zürich, MIT, University of Tokyo, and Chalmers University), is pleased to announce our 2012 Youth Encounter on Sustainability (YES) course for the first time in the United States – with a special focus on Sustainable Food Production and Consumption.
The YES course aims to sensitize participants to the complex issues of sustainable development in a global context through course work, field trips, workshops, group work, and discussions in a practical, international learning experience, combined with social and cultural activities. The course brings together an inspiring group of upper level students and young professionals from different disciplines, cultures, and nationalities to learn together in a unique environment. The program builds on 11 years of experience successfully running YES in 10 different countries.
