1. THINKING GLOBALLY WHILE ACTING CULTURALLY ? PROGRAM ONLINE

October 7-11 - Captain Cook Hotel, Anchorage, Alaska

 

Thinking globally has long been a tenet of environmental education. Acting culturally is the celebration of differences among all of us and respecting how these differences can help us shape a more positive future. NAAEE?s annual conference will follow four cultural, diversity and global related strands along with a research strand - each strand features workshops and concurrent, poster and interact sessions. The final conference program is now available online.
