UPDATES:
Essential Ecoliteracy for Creatives and Art Professionals
Haumea Online Course – 7 weeks, starting on Tues 5 Jan 2021
Cathy Fitzgerald, creator of the Hollywood Forest Story, is offering a Haumea online course, running for seven weeks until Tues 23 Feb 2021. This is a comprehensive introductory course to ecoliteracy and will cover the philosophy, ethics, law, psychology, science and economics that an ecological worldview advances, with examples of pioneers on this path.
Cathy’s background in science, artistic development and knowledge of ecological art practice, means she is aware of the cultural dilemma we face. Philosopher Nikos Patedakis co-hosts the weekly meetings with Cathy and shares his eco-centric learning and psychosocial supports for those who need to address the distress that awareness of the ecological emergency brings.

WHAT WE DO
Green Foundation Ireland host seminars, workshops and conferences to demonstrate how practical action can create systems change in both education for sustainability, and work towards a green economy and society. We work on local and Island of Ireland projects and with partners in Scotland, England and Wales, and the European mainland.
RESOURCES FOR ECOLOGICAL EDUCATION
In association with Green European Foundation, GFI publishes eco literature, both online and hardcopy, and circulates the European Green Journal. The Eco Eye programmes, produced by GFI’s Director and former Chair Duncan Stewart, are available courtesy of Duncan. All of the above are available in the resources section of our website.
