International Perspectives on Earth and Environmental Education

Session ID#: 162855

Session Description:
In our modern world, earth and environmental science education (formal as well as informal) is taking on an increasingly important role. Children and young people need to understand the interrelationships and interactions in the Earth system if they are to make decisions relevant to the future in terms of sustainability and responsibility.


We would like to invite you to share your ideas, approaches and experiences in earth and environmental education in this session. We are particularly interested in presenting as diverse an international perspective as possible. Regionally different socio-economic and socio-cultural contexts play an important role and shape Earth and environmental education individually in each case. We would like to stimulate exchange about such different approaches and concepts.
