Connections Newsletter – Schedule for Submissions

Connections seeks articles on the following topics:

Theme: Sustainability
Deadline for submissions: April 1, 2010

Sustainability is a term that often refers to the environment and ecologically responsible behavior. However, in recent years the meaning of sustainability has developed to include such topics as social justice, peace, solidarity, democracy and personal spiritual renewal. We would welcome submissions on this broader definition of sustainability. For example, how does the accessibility of clean water become an issue of social justice and sustainability? How does slowing down the pace of life become a sustainability issue?

Connections also requires submissions for the following regular features:

• What’s happening (and where) – sharing events and programs related to global, environmental and outdoor education.
• Resource features – highlighting resources related to global, environmental and outdoor education, including people and organizations with resources available to teachers.
• Photographs of the natural world, people and children in nature, global friends and neighbours, and education in action.

How to Make a Submission

Sending submissions by e-mail is ideal, but you may also submit articles, artwork and photographs by regular mail (on disk or as hard copy). Please include a short biography and your mailing address. You must receive parental permission to print photographs of children or student work (see the form at the end of the Fall, 2008 issue). Send submissions to:
