DESCRIPTION:Nature conservation can’t wait! Economic Development can’t
  wait either. So\, we put economic values to elements of nature. This is n
 ot just a scientific enterprise but also hugely political. Could there be 
 plausible ways to reconcile diverse objectives into channels of enterprise
 s that could\nsustain the ecology and the economics of a place. Many exper
 iences are showing the way forward across the global canvass. We are going
  to share a place based education module that has evolved for university s
 tudents and is getting popular across the world. Its run by village women 
 self help\ngroup in association with Foundation for Contemplation of Natur
 e in the Central Himalayan state of Uttarakhand in India.\n\nThe talk will
  cover the 3 pillars of the module: Dignity of Physical work\, Interdepend
 ence and Interconnectedness. What are the practices that are built around 
 these principles and how they help instil ‘Critical Awareness’ in the 
 participants? What constitutes the approach of Contemplation of Nature\, t
 he science and the practice? How mindfulness compliments student learning 
 outcome in a way that helps them carry the lessons further in their workin
 g life. How they view ‘success’ and ‘happiness’ which are the main
  driving forces in pursuit of economic development and the choices\nthey m
 ake now and in future.
