About the Conference

 

The 34th NSW Environmental Education Conference ActiveNature: Learning, Citizenship and Activism for Sustainability was run in October 2019 in partnership between the Australian Association for Environmental Education NSW Chapter and the Sutherland Shire Environment Centre.

The conference had a special focus on the role of activism in education programs and initiatives. It emphasised the importance of active citizenship in sustainability, particularly focusing on the role of education and educators in:

  • building learning pathways towards a deeper understanding of citizenship
  • improving understanding of activism in achieving a sustainable world
  • strengthening and making more explicit our collective focus on longer term change.
