EDUCATION SEMINAR and BOOK LAUNCH

Green Foundation Ireland is pleased to invite you to an evening Education Seminar and Book Launch at 6:00pm on Monday 2 December 2019.

“Environmental Literacy and New Digital Audiences”

by PAT BRERETON, Professor at the School of Communications
in Dublin City University

THEME

There is widespread public awareness of and concern about environmental issues at this time and this book launch will bring together two topical issues one relating to Environmental Literacy and the other to Eco Anxiety. While Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) continues to be a topic of debate in Ireland especially its inclusion in education curricula there is no doubt that Environmental Literacy plays a huge role in ESD. Environmental awareness in turn has the capacity to lead to Eco Grief or Eco Anxiety for some who may find our current situation difficult to deal with.

This seminar and book launch will try to address both of these issues in a solution focused way so that we are equipped with a more hopeful way of dealing with environmental issues.

GUEST SPEAKERS

Professor Pat Brereton School of Communications, Dublin City University;
Dr John Sharry Solution Focused Psychotherapist and Irish Times
                           Climate Change Contributor;
Elaine Nevin National Director of ECO-UNESCO;

Duncan Stewart RTÉ's Eco Eye and Director of Green Foundation Ireland.

As always at our events, an important part will be the Q&A session
which will allow full participation by those attending.

TICKET DETAILS

While admission to our event is FREE, registration is RECOMMENDED.

GETTING THERE

The Mansion House is situated in Dawson Street, Dublin 2 - here is a map to help you located it. Access to the Oak Room (where our event is being held) is via the entrance to the left of the building. This is a shared entrance with the Round Room. For those with a disability, access is via a platform lift which can be found to the left of the building. Please let us know in advance if you require assistance, so a member of the Mansion House staff can be assigned to help you on the day.

Public transport is probably the best option as car parking in front of the Mansion House is strictly forbidden. The location is close to the LUAS at the Dawson stop and to bus routes that travel along Dawson Street.

The nearest car parking is either at School House Lane, which is immediately behind the Mansion House, or at the Setanta Centre.
