The Language of the Visual Arts: Learning to Decode the Visual Language with Susan Handler
Visuals surround us in our everyday life but do we understand the visual language and the power that it holds? This workshop introduces the concept of visual inquiry, which is the foundation for developing the decoding skill. Learning the language of the visual arts is based on sharpening ones visual inquiry techniques, visual literacy skills, and decoding symbols. All lead to making visual connections, which results in learning to “read” the visual arts. This critical thinking skill is useful for students of all ages. Learning to decode is very much similar to learning a new language. This hands-on workshop has been presented to learners of all ages. Participants work in teams from color art reproductions, using magnifying glasses to capture the minute details. Reproductions of the paintings will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring magnifying glasses

Where the Dragon Meets the Angry River: Nature and Power in the Peoples Republic of China by Ed Grumbine.
China’s meteoric rise to economic powerhouse might be charted with dams. Every river in the country has been tapped to power exploding cities and factories-every river but one. Running through one of the richest natural areas in the world, the Nujiang’s raging waters were on the verge of being dammed when a 2004 government moratorium halted construction. Might the Chinese dragon bow to the “Angry River”? Would Beijing put local people and their land ahead of power and profit? Could this remote region actually become a model for sustainable growth?
Come to this reading/slide show/book release celebration to find out what Ed learned about the real-world
consequences of conservation and development decisions now being made in Beijing and beyond.

TAKE BACK THE NIGHT
Prescott’s sixth annual Take Back the Night (also known as Reclaim the Night) will be held on April 16th, 2010 at the courthouse square. The event is a chance for community members to gather together to network and dialogue about sexual violence being perpetuated in the Prescott area. The event will include food, live music, speakers and presenters, open dialogue, and finally, a rally and candle-lit march to reclaim the night from the fear of violence in our community. It will be a celebration of those who’ve survived and a brain-storming session for ending the perpetuation of this violence. In the USA 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men will be victims of sexual violence and/or assault in their lifetime. This is nothing less than a pandemic. The intention of this event is to bring together our community in order to give voice to those who’ve been silenced and to bring about change. Take Back the Night being organized by the Prescott College’s Feminist Psychology class as it has been for the past three years. For more information please
feel free to contact Emma Gifford at egifford@prescott.edu or Chrissy Becker at cbecker1@prescott.edu

Fostering Environmenal Awareness and Community Empowerment Toward a Sustainable Future and Ironwood Tree Experience: Green Lots
Description: Historically, Environmental Education has offered pathways to knowledge and practices of stewardship, emphasizing values that benefit humans and the natural world. Today, traditional stewardship values have expanded to sustainability values. Sustainability blurs the demarcation between the human community and the natural world. Environmental Education for a Sustainable Future emphasizes the educational continuum that moves learners from awareness to action, resulting in ecological, social, and economic benefits.
Suzanne and Eric Dhruv, Prescott College MAP alums and directors of Prescott College’s Center for Children and Nature and Ironwood Tree Experience work to connect teens with their community through experiences in nature. These experiences enhance teen’s awareness of ecological, social, and economic connections in the urban and rural environments and inspire youth to engage in community action projects.
When? April 22nd, 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Where? Prescott College Crossroads Center

Fostering environmental awareness and community empowerment toward a sustainable future
Prescott College Kino Bay Center is located in the fishing village Bahia de Kino, Mexico on the shores of the Gulf of California.

The mission of the program is to foster ecological awareness through exploration of regional ecosystems, encourage involvement in local conservation issues, while building capacity for young people to become involved in conservation regional efforts. Now is an important time to reach out to the youth, the future of Bahia de Kino, to provide them with the knowledge, motivation, and skills to secure a sustainable ecological and economic future. Beyond a model, the EEP is an example of a multicultural program that is growing in an organic way with the involvement of the community. The long-term commitment of the Kino Bay Center within the community has provided continuity and support for educational opportunities providing as well as the empowerment of a new generation.
