Maine Won’t Wait is Maine’s four-year climate action plan. Learn about an adapted version of it for younger people (grades 6-12) called Maine Won't Wait: A Climate Policy Guide for Students. We will navigate its interactive features and discuss ways educators can embed this into their educational setting or a unit. Various lesson plans and assessments, across content areas, that connect with this guide will be shared.
The workshop will dive into the challenges of farming in Maine and beyond. You will interact with the food system, consider the complex web of food production and learn how small farms are impacted by corporate interests. You will come away from the workshop not only with new knowledge, but with some local food!
