Peel Environmental Youth Alliance
EcoBuzz Conference – February 19-20, 2010
Teacher Leader Registration Closes on January 15, 2010

2010 marks the seventh year for PEYA’s annual EcoBuzz environmental conference. 400 students and teachers will participate in the conference to be held on Friday February 19, 2010 at Fletcher’s Meadow S.S. in Brampton.
The purpose of the EcoBuzz Conference is to provide a fun venue to explore environmental issues concerning youth by using alternative forms of media, to inspire student action projects and to offer support from fellow students to carry out these projects.
The EcoBuzz Conference offers:
• Workshops led by professionals in the environmental community
• Displays by local environmental groups
• Student action planning with PEYA support
• Student made local food
Some of this year’s student workshop topics include:
local food, food security, recycling, drumming, composting, art.
Teacher workshop topics include:
Whole School approaches to Education for Sustainable Development
Plus, we have added an Ontario-wide component as a part of PEYA and EcoSource’s Environmental Youth-Adult Partnerships Project. On Saturday February 20th, this project will bring 50 youth and adults from across Ontario to experience EcoBuzz, and provides time for these important guests to share best practices around youth-adult partnerships to advance positive environmental change in communities across Ontario.
