ECO Girls

ECO Girls is a project providing Environmental and Cultural Opportunities for Girls in urban Southeast Michigan. The project was founded in 2011 by a humanities professor who sought to connect a concern for the pressing environmental issues of our time with a desire to promote the positive development of girls in urban centers. The project especially aims to reach girls of color and girls in economically challenged areas whose neighborhoods too often become depositories for environmental waste but whose communities are left out of strategic planning for a future that will be affected by resource depletion and global climate change. While engaging girls in a program of fun and exploration, ECO Girls applies an environmental humanities framework to link environmental issues to the cultural meanings of daily life. The project draws connections between the group histories, community values, and expressive cultures of girls and the environment we all share to foster ecological awareness and critical environment… Event "Program" Description: ECO Girls is a project providing Environmental and Cultural Opportunities for Girls in urban Southeast Michigan.
