This program is part of the Goldin Institute sponsored series highlighting the work of the Partner Cities around the world. The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions has created a variety of resources to support you as you return to your home communities. We believe that a major resource is your ability to connect with others locally and around the world about topics and projects that you care about. During this workshop, the Council's Sustainability Team will provide you with an overview of these resources, including a tutorial on the newly-designed CPWR Extranet.
