Sudbury & Sustainability: Economic Health

The theme of this Monday's walk-and-talk is a look at the economic health engendered by the Sudbury model. It's part of October's larger theme of how the Sudbury model relates to Kingston's 4 pillars of sustainability.

Today's parents have been hearing since they were kids that they could expect to change careers many times in their lives. The 21st century economy has a niche for any skill, any interest, when it is coupled with flexibility and a general ability to get things done. The personality of the 21st century economy is the personality of a Sudbury-model school.

Come share stories about the real skills and attitudes you need for your job, stories about kids learning how to get things done when focusing on their interests, stories about how the in-born drive to grow up translates into economic health.

The walk-and-talk meets Monday at 7:00 in front of City Hall, and we begin walking at 7:15.
