Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - Part of the “relocalizing” agenda is “reskilling,” that is, teaching skills that were once abundant in our communities and may become increasingly important in a future with little use of fossil fuels. Reskilling also could describe a lot of the short, continuing education courses taught at the School of the New American Farmstead at Sterling College in Craftsbury Common. Two teachers in upcoming courses are featured on this week’s show.
9:00 - 10:00 am
Heather Jerrett of Sterling College will give an overview of the School of the New American Farmstead.
