Seeds of Change Exhibition
Each person has the potential to change the world for the better, and ea ch person's actions count. This is the message of the "Seeds of Change--the Earth Charter and Human Potential" exhibition. The exhibition, a collaboration between the SGI and The Earth Charter Initiative, introduces the Earth Charter as a "blueprint" for envisioning a sustainable world and taking action toward that vision, and also promotes the upcoming UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development.
The exhibition is available for display as a set of 12 posters. Please contact us at info@earthcharter.org.au if you would be interested in displaying this exhibition
