The annual North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) conference draws inspiration from Pittsburgh’s iconic bridges, celebrating their symbolic significance while embracing their theme of “Building Bridges” to address challenges in the environmental education landscape. In a world grappling with complex environmental and social issues, ranging from climate change to injustice, collaboration and understanding are more crucial than ever.
NAAEE seeks to spotlight environmental educators as natural bridge builders. Focused on bridging gaps across borders, disciplines, and ideas, our event aims to foster mutual understanding and explore how to discover common ground. They recognize the pivotal role environmental educators play in developing solutions by dismantling barriers in communities, working collaboratively across borders, nurturing innovative partnerships, and amplifying program impact.
