SUMMARY:Cosmos and Ecology - Stories of the Universe
DESCRIPTION:Cosmos and Ecology: Stories of the Universe is a free even
 t organized by graduate students from the Institute for Resources, Env
 ironment and Sustainability (IRES) and the Centre for Interactive Rese
 arch on Sustainability (CIRS). It will be held on October 8th and 9th,
  with showings running hourly from 10:30am - 5pm on both days. Free ad
 mission to the portal and all the workshops!\nThe general overarching 
 themes are global/planetary consciousness and sustainability. The goal
  is to engage our campus and general community in exploring the import
 ant connections between communities, sustainability and cosmology thro
 ugh the power of visual immersive technology and storytelling. We beli
 eve that the understanding of the deep interconnectedness between huma
 ns and ecosystems, in a global and planetary sense, our role and place
  in the Universe, along with the values, meanings and the narratives o
 f sustainability and the future we wish to live in, are all an essenti
 al part of the sustainability challenge.\nMoreover, we believe this ch
 allenge is ultimately an imaginative one!\nSo come share your stories,
  engage in discussion, and help transform the way we live and learn.\n
 Our special guests, creators of the StoryDome, will showcase their imm
 ersive learning environment housed inside a 30 foot inflatable dome, w
 hich will act as a centerpiece for discussion and workshops. Using the
  latest NASA visual technology features, they produced a 30-minute fea
 ture film: \"Earth Portal: A Guided Tour of the Universe and Our Place
  In It\" to demonstrate the effectiveness of this immersive approach t
 o storytelling for science education, community engagement, and the de
 velopment of a more ecocentric worldview.\nSchedule:\nWhidbey GeoDome
