2. Ideal: From Outreach to Active Participation in Global Change Science Engage local host communities worldwide as active participants in global change science & heritage development Foster mutual two-way learning & TEK mobilization Create lasting benefits in sustainability education to communities and school systems Connect host communities with each other & with the global effort for sustainability education Make “outreach” a core field science goal for the next generation of researchers- not an add on.

4. Alaska Native Science Commission (ANSC) was established in 1994 to bring together research and science in partnership with the Native community. It serves as a clearinghouse, an information base for ongoing and past research for proposed research, and an archive for significant research involving the Native community. ANSC provides information, referral and networking services for researchers seeking active partners in the Native community and communities seeking research partners. Support from US NSF & EPA http://nativescience.org/

5. Islands of Change Project(NSF REU Arctic Social Sciences) Builds on long term research (since 1996) in N Iceland and more recent work in Barbuda W Indies (since 2004). Builds on 4 NSF research experience for undergrads grants to Perdikaris combining lab, classroom, field, and outreach components Connects Iceland, Barbuda, NYC, and (now) Orkney

6. Engaging Our Public (Who are they?) Host communities in Iceland, Orkney, Antigua/Barbuda Students from inner city NYC through STAR CUNY undergrads and doctoral students participating in NSF REU program “Islands of Change” You: fellow scholars, educators, students, and resilience allies.

KAPI Long Term Objectives Collect & GPS place names and associated stories from elders Preserve place based lore digitally and at local museums- expanding multi-generational community project Involve rural students in field science; “I want to be a paleoentomologist too” Produce teaching modules with rich visuals and well planned hands- on kits Make real and visible contribution to global change science.

28. Connecting Communities & Sharing Ideas Bringing community activists and teachers together 2008-11: Icelanders to Barbuda; Barbudans to Iceland; Icelanders to Orkney; Orkney, Barbudans & NYC educators to Iceland Community and school connections to pool best practice

29. Classroom & Museum Development – Learning in 2 Directions Renovated science classrooms, early reading science rooms, kid friendly hands on areas in local museums Also invaluable training for NYC students in museum studies and creating resources for sustainability education Good work Marissa Gamiliel!

30. Resilient & Sustainable? Rural and urban schools get resources connected to sustainability and resilience curricula US NYC inner city students & rural host students get life changing experiences US graduate students get personal hands on experience of sustained community outreach and involvement as part of their basic training Connecting and pooling sustainability education ideas and resources internationally
