The North American Association for Environmental Education’s 2023 conference theme is Together We Thrive. During the conference, we will focus on the importance of collaboration, creativity, and crossing boundaries to address the environmental and social issues we face. None of us can tackle these issues alone; we need stronger collaborations, more diverse partnerships, and insights from people with varying backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas. As soccer great Pelé said, “No individual can win a game by himself.” We also can’t address the systemic injustices that have marginalized so many unless we understand the shared roots of social and ecological crises and collectively work with intention toward justice. Together, we can build a sustainable future where everyone thrives.
NAAEE seeks compelling proposals that advance justice, equity, and inclusion in the field; inform environmental educators about proven practices; push the leading edge of the profession; and motivate the pursuit of excellence.
Deadline: May 5, 2023
