The 5th World Environmental Education Congress, 2009: A Research Project

Bob Jickling, Lakehead University; Lucie Sauvé, Université du Québec à Montréal; LaurenceBrière, Université du Québec à Montréal; Blair Niblett, Lakehead University; Emily Root, Lakehead University, Canada

This paper contextualizes the 5th World Environmental Education Congress, discusses the theoretical underpinnings of the Congress theme, “Earth our Common Home,” and relates this theorizing to the research project that was woven through the Congress. The rationale for this research project was to invite Congress participants to have a say in co-constructing an image of environmental education and a vision for its shared future. The results of the study describe an ever-changing and increasingly complex field. They also suggest converging and diverging pluralities, which can provide critical traction for practitioners who wish to critically reflect on ongoing developments in environmental education.

7th International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic and Social Sustainability

The Sustainability Conference is held annually in different locations around the world. The Conference was held at the University of Technology, Mauritius in 2009, Universitiy Malaysia Terengganu, Kuala, Terengganu, Malaysia in 2008; University of Madras, Chennai, India in 2007; Hanoi and Ha Long Bay, Vietnam in 2006; and the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, Island of Oahu, Hawai’I, USA in 2005.

The Conference is divided into loosely grouped streams, approximating perspectives, knowledge-bases, professional practices or disciplines. As much as possible, we try to program parallel sessions relating to each stream into the same room. This means that it would be possible, if one wished, to follow the same stream for the entire Conference. Each stream also has its own talking circle, a forum for focused discussion of issues.

You will be asked to select one or more streams when you submit a presentation proposal. If you select more than one stream or ‘other’, the Conference organisers will choose a stream based on a reading of your title and abstract, or one which seems to fit best with other presentation proposals that have been submitted.

Environmental, Cultural, Economic and Social Sustainability Conference Streams

  • Environmental Sustainability
  • Cultural Sustainability
  • Economic Sustainability
  • Social Sustainability
  • Other

Sostenibilidad, valores y cultura ambiental

Educación ambiental y manejo de ecosistemas en México

In the book Environmental education and ecosystem management in Mexico, the authors reflect about the space given to Environmental Education in the Sector of Educacional Policies – where it appears as marginal – as well as in the Environmental Sector, where it is used as a mere instrument for environmental management, lessening its potencial role in promoting values and attitudes.
