I-SEA intends to sponsor, co-sponsor, and host various sustainability gatherings, both on Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada, and elsewhere in the region.  The Institute is currently seeking institutional and individual partners to develop and offer a sustainability curriculum that would include the following courses:  Sustainability Principles; Sustainability Policies; Sustainability Practices; and Sustainability Performance.  These courses would be offered in both online and residency formats, and, in the latter case, would have a practical field experience in the Gulf Islands, BC region.  Certificates of completion would be offered to students who successfully complete this series of courses.  In addition, the Institute intends on offering concentrated workshops on these and related topics, such as sustainability reporting, and on organizing Sustainability Business events.
