addition to the core courses is a rich selection of workshops, panels and

Meltdown:</span><br>
Each year, we choose an issue area that we focus on in the workshops and
panels as well as in the core classrooms. Given the global economic crisis
the clear choice was to focus on not only understanding the roots of the
crisis, but how to get beyond it for the long term. This year’s special
track will look at:<br>
• How did we get into this economic mess? Was it individual greed or
the way the system is rigged?<br>
• What drives these booms and busts? Why do they happen on a regular
basis? <br>
• Could the economic crisis have been avoided?<br>
• Is there a better way - one that puts people and planet front and
center? <br>
• What is the solidarity economy all about?<o:p></o:p></p>
