Dear Harrison, I am extremely grateful for your response. Your descriptions of OST reassure me that it is the best way to achieve my aim: guidelines for environmental education with a multicultural approach, produced by diverse stakeholders (environmental educators from the various sectors in Israel, and other stakeholders).
The issue of the environment is so complex and perceptions regarding the environment are so charged and often surprising, with striking differences and similarities across cultures, particularly in a country with indigenous people, various minorities, and a crowded holy land. Therefore I feel that the openness, spaciousness and technology of OST can create the right ground for producing guidelines that will reflect all the above in the context of education. I thank you very very much for your informative answers and for the references. very best wishes, Maya. * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
