Students of Sustainability 2006
Heya cats,
Concerned about climate change?
Even more concerned that government and industry are dressing up nuclear disaster as the solution?
Want to find out more, meet people creating change, live sustainably and creatively, get active not radio-active?
Well, the Students of Sustainability Conference is the thing for you!
What is it?
It's the most exciting and inspirational thing you could do over your winter break.
The Students of Sustainability Conference (SoS) is the largest meeting of the environment movement in the country.

SoS is a convergence of communities, students, academics, and environment and Indigenous groups from around Australia . From those who are new and want to find out more, to those who have dedicated their lives to the protection of the environment, SoS has something for all. It features inspiring speakers, practical workshops, community nights, bands, films, field trips, actions, reflection, dialogue, celebration.
It's one of the best weeks of the year. For more information, check out www.studentsofsustainability.org

Students of Sustainability 2006 Mission Statement
9 - 15 July
University of Queensland, Brisbane
"Everybody is a student of sustainability"
First and foremost, the SoS 2006 Organising Collective acknowledge the Turrbal as Traditional Owners of this Country on which we meet and organise. We recognise that we stand on stolen land and that this theft and genocide was perpetuated to illegally usurp the sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. But it was not successful.
Since time immemorial, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have manifested sustainability as the cultivation of equitable wellbeing within personal, environmental, ecological, social and cultural spheres. This interconnectedness is demonstrated through practised custodianship of Land. We too recognise the value of the natural system of which we are an inextricable part, and seek to protect this value. We believe in the importance of united, strong, active and creative local communities and cultures.
With respect, we strive towards achieving local and global sustainability.
Locally and globally, the environment is in a state of crisis. The SoS organising committee recognises the interconnection of environmental crises and other manifestations of global injustice, including oppression and discrimination towards people on the basis of their sex, sexual orientation or identity, ethnicity, faith, dis/ability, political, social, or economic status, etc. The SoS organising committee understands that sustainability in any form is impossible while these injustices continue, and as such, we advocate discussion and action in all of these areas, including at the SoS conference.
The SoS 2006 organising committee advocates supportive, respectful and constructive involvement in all aspects of the conference. All participants share their knowledge and learn from each other, bringing their own opinions, voices and ideas. This diversity of voices, ideas and opinions makes SoS what it is.
