Teaching About Food, Farming, Climate & Justice: A Workshop Facilitated by Tim Swinehart

Food is about more than nutrition—it’s also about community, economic justice, livelihoods, public health, nature and the climate. Swinehart will introduce participants to techniques for teaching about food issues in an integrative way, including a role-play activity that focuses on La Via Campesina, one of the world’s largest social movements representing 200 million farmers globally.
 
This 90-minute workshop is intended for teachers, non-formal educators, and ASU students who are interested in sustainability education and food system issues.

Appalachian State University’s Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership in Reich College of Education is sponsoring a series of programs on campus by Tim Swinehart, co-author of A People’s Curriculum for the Earth.  As part of his visit, Tim will lead a sustainability education workshop focused on food.
