EEASA 2010 Conference Announcement
The Copperbelt University in partnership with the Zambia Network of Environmental Educators and Practitioners (ZANEEP) is the organiser and host of the 28th Annual Conference of the Environmental Education Association of Southern Africa (EEASA) to be held in 2010. EEASA is an international association of academics, researchers, and practitioners in all disciplines, civic society, governmental, non-governmental organisations, and others interested in the environment and sustainable development.
The theme for the 28th Annual Conference at CBU in Zambia is: Decade of Education for Sustainable Development: Lessons and Processes for a Sustainable World. It provides for reflection upon our various activities, projects and programmes so as to share lessons for sustainable development and for education for sustainable development (ESD). This theme builds on the last two conference themes: Actions towards sustainable futures (Swaziland, 26th EEASA,
2008) and DESD: where are we? (Botswana, 27th EEASA, 2009). The UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development held in Bonn, Germany from 30th March to 2nd April 2009 agreed on the Bonn Declaration on ‘A call for action’. The UNESCO
Global Monitoring and Evaluation Progress Report for 2011 will focus on “Processes and Learning for Sustainable Development”. It thus fitting that the 28th EEASA Conference in 2010 shall focus on: “Decade of Education for Sustainable Development: Lessons and Processes for a Sustainable World” whereby participants and delegates shall reflect upon their EE/ESD research and development projects in terms of “processes and learning” for sustainable development. The guiding question is: What lessons are we learning and what processes are we engaged in to realise a sustainable world?
