This free, full-day of dialogues will bring together 150 educators and researchers to discuss the possibilities of and challenges for today’s environmental education. Keeping a firm eye on the new directions needed to both advance and deepen the research and practice in the field of environmental education writ large, this will be a lively day of discussion.
