The ACT otherWISE network is an active and growing network of young 
people in the ACT who want to learn about sustainability and to make 
a difference in their own lives and their communities and we would 
love you and your friends to become part of this network.  

As an introduction to the network, free Youth in Sustainability 
workshops are being held for young Canberrans aged 15-25 years.  The 
next workshop will be held over three consecutive Wednesday evenings 
during November 2007. The workshops are designed to educate and 
inform young Canberrans on sustainability and to inspire them to 
reduce their individual and community consumption patterns. Ongoing 
activities and support will be available to participants as they make 
changes to their lives, get involved in existing community projects 
or design their own sustainability focused community projects.  

For more information have a look at: http://ozotherwise.wordpress.com http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2530510879  

Next Workshop dates:

14th, 21st and 28th of November

Workshop times: 6.30 -9pm 

Workshop location: Meeting room 7 (first floor) in the Griffin 
Centre, Genge St Civic  

Also: an optional site visit to local sustainable community projects will be held on the 24th of November.

Workshop places are limited, and participants need to register at 
least a week before the workshops begin.
