At the workshop itself, participants will engage in activities designed to elucidate team-building, interpretation of policy, understanding of the political decision-making process, writing and communication. Participants will read and share their understanding of the assigned papers with a focus on identifying 1) the key environmental issues involved, 2) existing policy, and 3) key stakeholder groups along with their respective positions. Future workshops will determine possibilities for alliances and conflict and examine and evaluate possible strategies for achieving issue resolution.
About the Series
EcologyPlus will offer a series of Skills Workshops that will utilize a case study based format to enhance participant understanding of the sills needed for ecological and environmental careers. Centered on environmental issues in the Anacostia River, participants will be exposed to skills valued by employers in a range of fields, including academic institutions; non-profit organizations; federal, state and local agencies, and businesses.
