Environmental Peace:
New Hampshire State Representative Emma Rous, formerly of Oyster River High School, is the author of the Literature and the Land, a guide for developing ecological literary in young people. Emma facilitates discussion aimed at exploring practical ways educators support students in exploring daily life to gain awareness of what is positive and in harmony with our planets’ natural systems and what is not. The participatory workshop emphasized interdisciplinary and intergenerational approaches. The workshop offered a framework upon which lessons from any content area can develop a movement in the direction of a more positive and peaceful future for our planet. Emma Rous serves on the environmental and education standing committees in the State Legislature.
