C2C Workshops

C2C Fellows convenes regional weekend training workshops for selected current and recent college undergraduates. Workshops cover communication, entrepreneurship, environmental and climate science, media, raising capital, and other critical topics. These are working meetings: the output for each student will be to develop one key leadership skill: communication. Graduates of the C2C Fellows Workshops are eligable for scholarships to continue their leadership training, as well as to become funded graduate students at the Bard Center for Environmental Policy. 
C2C Fellows 2012-2013 wraps up this weekend at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR. Check back often as we prepare to announce our 2013-2014 workshop season!

All workshop applications are closed. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
The registration fee for our weekend workshops is $30 (collected at the workshop), and includes food and lodging in student rooms and shared spaces on campus. Students can often apply for funding to their student governments or activity boards. C2C Fellows offers a limited number of scholarships to attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Previous C2C Events

Fall 2011

C2C Fellows Launch Workshop

The inaugural C2C Fellows launch workshop occured on December 2nd-4th, 2011. Twenty-five Fellows convened at Bard College for a weekend of skills training and critical discussion on the future of the planet. Majora Carter delivered the keynote address Friday evening and delivered an inspiring speech on developing a leadership career. 




Spring 2011

In spring 2011, the Bard Center for Environmental Policy, sponsored skype dialogues between campus and congress on energy, climate and jobs as part of our C2C/EARTHweeks initiative. To participate, faculty just needed to express their interest. Our C2C team did the rest: invitation, scheduling, access to policy resources for your students, suggested questions, etc. We even staffed the DC end of the skype dialogs, bringing a laptop to the office of your Senator or Congressperson at the appointed time. C2C/EARTHweeks has helped us get hundreds of students, faculty and staff in states and congressional districts accross the country engaged and tuned into the critical decisions concerning our future being made in Washington.
