Testimonials

Kevin C. age 18

In 2007 Arthur played an instrumental role in facilitating a student led committee that initiated the schools first annual “BikeFest.” This one day event brought together wacky bikes, alternative powered equipment, a local band, and a generous amount of cycling related activities. Over a three month planning period Arthur demonstrated his ability to foster a positive environment for discussion that allowed each of us to move into positions and roles that were important to us.

resources

Our resources include hundreds of tools and project ideas developed since 1996 on school and community-based sustainability projects.

These resources are being compiled into 45-min podcasts to be presented along with associated activity templates. Members of the Urbanthinkers website will be able to sign up for podcasts and request archival materials.

As we cull through our ‘rough draft’ activities and events, we’d love to hear about the topics and activities of interest to you!
