AAEE Introducation

In Australia and globally, education is increasingly recognised as a vital means of achieving sustainability. Environmental education has evolved from nature studies to sustainability education, and from information provision to community development which enables people to ‘get out there and do it themselves’ — at home, at work and at school.

AAEE exists to provide a forum for the Australian community to share their knowledge and expertise. It also serves to represent environmental educator’s discussions, debates and recommendations to issues and directions for a sustainable future. AAEE has a 10 step vision for the community and you are invited to read and consider how you can support this.

AAEE also includes a number of Special Interest Groups (SIG’s) for members: Teacher and Teacher Educator; Early Childhood; Decade of Education for Sustainable Development; Early Career Researchers.

AAEE has professional links with similar associations and it is through strong partnerships like these that we ensure a positive, cooperative and inclusive framework for change through education. Please view them below.
