A New Word.
Founder Kenny Ausubel coined the term Bioneers in 1990 to describe an emerging culture. Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand how nature operates, and to mimic “nature’s operating instructions” to serve human ends without harming the web of life. Nature’s principles—kinship, cooperation, diversity, symbiosis and cycles of continuous creation absent of waste—can also serve as metaphoric guideposts for organizing an equitable, compassionate and democratic society.
An Annual Conference.
The Bioneers Conference is a leading-edge forum where you can see tomorrow today: a future environment of hope. Social and scientific innovators focus on breakthrough solutions inspired by nature and human ingenuity. These visionaries are already creating the healthy, diverse, equitable and beautiful world we want to live in—our legacy for future generations and the web of life on which our lives depend. You can connect with hundreds or thousands of engaged folks making a real difference.
In 2008, more than 12,000 people attended our main Bioneers Conference in San Rafael, California and 18 local Beaming Bioneers satellite conferences across the country. Bioneers fosters connection, cross-pollination and collaboration by bringing together diverse people and projects. We link strategic networks at the local, regional, national and international levels.
Roots & Shoots Workshop:
Saturday afternoon session 2:45 – 4:15 pm Shattering Stereotypes: Empowering Youth to Create Positive Change
The young constitute the most dynamic part of any population and have always been a major driver of social change throughout human history. How can we break through prevalent negative stereotypes about youth and support today’s younger generations to engage to become powerful, positive change-agents in their communities?
Come decode these stereotypes and help build a coalition of young activists that will give adults a brand new perception about the power that youth wield. Join California youth leaders from Roots & Shoots, and other youth leaders from Destiny Arts Performance Center, Grind for the Green, and Green for All.
