Pendleton Public Library is pleased to host this workshop which uses highlights from Reading the Landscape: Inquiry into Local Story, a new course offered by the Lewis and Clark College Graduate School of Education and Counseling and taught by Susan McWilliams, adjunct faculty with the College and developer and instructor for this course.  This program will offer community members and opportunity to become familiar with the possibilities, principles, and practice of place-based education for all ages.  Focusing on local culture, history, natural resources issues, economics, and community processes as the basis for a proportion of one's educational experiences; participants will find out more about tapping into their own community resources and learn how to find out more for themselves about where they live. 

Hands-on activities will be provided to give everyone a chance to try out ways to develop their own sense of place. 

This free workshop is sponsored by Libraries of Eastern Oregon.  All are welcome to attend.  Refreshments will be served.
