Hey, John xxxxxx, we really need your help. We'd like your local environmentalist groups, clubs, activists, professors, and teachers to know that we're offering an in-depth online course on a major factor in climate and environmental destruction that is often overlooked. Can you please share this email with them?
Anyone who wants to learn more or sign up can just click here before the course fills up.
Grounded in research on peace and ecological security, this course
focusses on the relationship between two existential threats: war and
environmental catastrophe. We will cover:
• Where wars happen and why.
• What wars do to the earth.
• What imperial militaries do to the earth back home.
• What nuclear weapons have done and could do to people and the planet.
• How this horror is hidden and maintained.
• What can be done.
This is much more than a simple webinar. This is a thorough
education gained over a six-week period. You can reserve a spot in our
upcoming online course on War and the Environment, planned for June 7 to
July 18.

This course is 100% online and interactions are not live or
scheduled, so you can take part whenever works for you. Weekly
content
includes a mix of text, images, video, and audio. Instructors and
students utilize online discussion forums to go over each week's
content, as well as to provide feedback on optional assignment
submissions.
The course also
includes three 1-hour optional zoom calls which are designed to
facilitate a more interactive and real-time learning experience.
Education Director Phill Gittins and other World BEYOND War staff, board members, and partners will be online throughout the six weeks helping to facilitate along with eight outstanding guest facilitators from around the world.
Time commitment/expectations: How much time you
spend and how deeply you engage is up to you. At a minimum, you can
expect to spend between 1-2 hours a week if you only review the weekly
content (text and videos). We hope, however, you’ll want to engage in
the online dialogue with peers and experts. This is where the real
richness of the learning occurs, where we have the opportunity to
explore new ideas, strategies, and visions for building a more peaceful
world. Depending on your level of engagement with the online discussion
you can expect to add another 1-3 hours a week. Finally, all
participants are encouraged to complete optional assignments (required
to earn a certificate). This is an opportunity to deepen and apply the
ideas explored each week to practical possibilities. Expect another 2
hours a week if you pursue these options.
Accessing the course. Prior to the start date, you will be sent instructions for how to access the course.
Earn a certificate. To
earn a certificate, participants must also complete optional weekly
written assignments. Instructors will return the assignment to the
student with detailed feedback. Submissions and feedback can be shared
with everyone taking the course or kept private between a student and
the instructor, at the student’s choice. Submissions must be completed
by the conclusion of the course.
The cost of the course is the same for someone completing all, some, or none of the assignments: $100 (Pay less if you have to, more if you can.)
There will be a limit of 150 tickets sold for this course.
