Eco-social Work Weekend Symposium
Convenors: Dr Antonia Hendrick, Dr Susan Bailey, Dr Marilyn Palmer

This symposium will draw on permaculture principles (of Earthcare, people care and fairshare) to bring together people who are interested in economic, social, political & ecological sustainability as it applies to social work, specifically to explore practice opportunities across all of the domains. If you know (and like) the ideas of Un-conferencing, Open Space Technology or World Café then this is probably for you.
No keynotes. No presentations. Hardly any powerpoints.
