Environmental educators young and old, indigenous and non-indigenous, government and non-government, community based and private enterprise are invited to attend and contribute to these conferences.

The conference invites exploration of how our education work can tap into and support responsible citizenship and a sense of activism. We will explore learning pathways to being active in and for nature and will seek the participation of a wide range of community organisations. It will include a youth stream and robust conversations about sustainability journeys
