On February 13, GIV will kick off 2010 with their ”GIV Winter Weekend Workshop” at Montpelier High School from 9 to 9 pm.  This is the first of eight Institutes – seven others will be held this summer.  The GIV Winter Weekend asks students to share their ideas on some very tough topics:

What are the chances for world peace in this decade? Could eating locally literally change world economics? Could drinking water become extinct? What would a future post-consumer world look like? Can future robots help physically challenged individuals?  

Presenters will empower students with skills necessary to effectively communicate and support change during their lifetime as they gain an understanding of current issues and a share their thoughts and ideas.  The GIV Winter Weekend topics are ‘snap shots’ of what the GIV Summer Institutes are all about.


GIV Winter Workshops topics include:  

Localavore: How to Eat Locally; Water, Resources and War; Palestine and Israel; What are the chances for Peace?; Gender Issues and Roles, Gaming by Design; Political Action Starts With You; Robotics; Living With a Disability; What Is It Like To Be a Student In Vermont From Another Country?; Fashion For A Post-Consumer World; and twenty other topics chosen by students.

Student fee - $15.00
