Put
yourself on the Map –literally-.
The upcoming 5th Encuentro on Border Environment
will kick off, next May 15th, with the Border Environmental
Bazaar, a unique event that will feature an exhibit of a series
of Maps of environmental action throught the region, and also
a Poster Session. Together, they are intended to provide the
border environmental movement with the opportunity of showing
the community the scope and diversity of efforts carried out
by civil society in order to protect the border environment.
The Maps will be murals representing the
U.S./Mexico border and will display the information you send
us about your organizations and projects, as well as your
transborder collaborations. The Poster Session will showcase
visual representations designed creatively by you, to share
information about the nature of your different projects and/or
organizations with your peers.
If you have already registered, we encourage
you to fill out the questionnaire we have sent you, regarding
the Map – which you can also find in our web page- and
send it back to us. This way, we can proceed and make room
on the map for you, and show the community exactly where you
stand!
We also urge you to prepare your poster
in order to allow others to appreciate your efforts and learn
about your work. Guidelines for creating your poster have
been sent out to you, but can also be found on our web page
for your convenience.
These are valuable contributions with which
you can empower others duting the 5th Encuentro, and we are
counting on them to complete our understanding of the hand
print being left by the growing social capital which is responding
to environmental challenges along the U.S./Mexico border.
If you still have not registered or requested
a fellowship, please do so now because we’re having
a terrific response and pretty soon there’ll be no room
for all wishing to attend.
Sincerely,
Executive
