To: [email protected] Hi, Gay, I am looking for ways to let educators and parents know about the class below. Does Sustainable Tompkins have an email list or newsletter in which this class can be listed? Thanks for your help. -- Pam Special Class at GreenStar *Where Food, Social Justice and Media Meet: Critical Thinking with our Kids *Wednesday, July 17, 7 - 8:30 PM Looking for ways to engage your kids or students in reflective discussions about what we eat and how our food choices impact a sustainable and secure food system for all? *Sox Sperry* will lead an interactive session using media materials from Project Look Sharps curriculum kits including the latest *Media Constructions of Sustainability: Finger Lakes*. This curriculum looks at food, water and agriculture in our region from the lenses of social justice, climate change, energy and economy. You’ll have fun decoding media messages to model ways to deepen discussions about the consumption of both food and media with the young people in your life. Participants will work with examples appropriate for elementary, middle, high school and college level. Sox Sperry is the primary curriculum writer for Project Look Sharp. His 40 years of teaching practice and activist organizing have concentrated on ways to engage people in action and reflection around issues related to peace and social justice. This class is free and open to the public, and is held in the meeting room at GreenStar Cooperative Market’s West-End Store, 701 W. Buffalo St. Registration is required - sign up at GreenStar's Customer Service Desk or call 273-9392. ** ** Pam Wooster Education Coordinator GreenStar Cooperative Market 701 W.
