Facilitator, Petrut Ababei, Nonprofit Leadership Fellow
Learn about SEI’s Energize Schools program that offers free PBL curriculum resources and support for One Planet projects. Strategic Energy Innovations (SEI), a nonprofit organization established in 1997, creates green communities by designing sustainability programs around the four key sectors that make up the foundation of all communities: education, housing, government, and the workforce.
Restorative Resources
Todd Harper, Secondary School Training Manager and Community Director
We believe that the foundation of strong, just and equitable communities is built on shared values of trust, honesty and compassion. The traditional circle dialogues that we employ have been used by indigenous peoples for centuries to peacefully resolve conflict, while honoring the needs, priorities and potential of every member of the community. It is our intention to support the use of this practice wherever conflict and inequity is found in our community – within our schools, justice institutions, workplace, local organizations and homes.
