The Midwest Regional Collaborative for Sustainability Education is a newly emerging community of practice exploring holistic systems-based formal and nonformal sustainability education practices. Our aim is to learn to see the world differently by breaking from the mundane and venturing on unknown paths that draw upon our ability to imagine a new future from within ourselves and beyond ourselves. We hope to transform our way of being and living in the world through communal visioning, building shared narratives and telling compelling stories.

We welcome all who care to venture forward with us.

You can find Midwest Regional Collaborative for Sustainability Education on Facebook too.

The Midwest Regional Collaborative for Sustainability Education Workshop held June 22 to 26, 2009 at Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin was a positive experience for many of those that attended the event.  The workshop attendees took a moment to support MRCSE Wise Elder Bill Mckibbens 350.org effort  which take its name from climate scientist James Hansen's contention that any atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide above 350 parts per million is unsafe.   Follow the links below to discover much more about this event:
