Its
been a time of change here at the EWE Centre. Mike Tones who
has lead the work here at the Centre and the wider work of
the Outdoor and Sustainability Education Service (OASES) has
retired from Durham County Council. Mike is continuing to
work for DCSF for a while and is still supporting the regional
Sustainable Schools and Global Dimension work in a voluntary
capacity so we will still see him around. All the team would
like to thank Mike for his unstinting support, leadership,
drive and good humour which has helped to make the service
what it has now become. We'll update you soon on some exciting
new developments for OASES.
