Sustainability In Communities Workshop Offered

Kitsap County, WA — Be part of the solution! Change your approach. Learn how to engage local citizens in creating sustainable communities.

Dr. Wendy Sarkissian, author of Kitchen Table Sustainability, has taken a hard look at current community engagement processes and why they fail to meet the challenges posed by sustainability in communities, cities and towns. She will inspire workshop participants to use more targeted and tested methods based on practical principles that build confidence and engage citizens.

This one-day workshop will be concrete, practical and experience-based, with an emphasis on explaining and working with the participatory model featured in Kitchen Table Sustainability.
