Re: Effectiveness of Environmental Education Programs
2011-06-25 11:43:11 UTC
I'm new to the forum and while I cant provide the information you've requested, I am interested in learning more about the paper you're writing for the Western Australian DEC. Can you tell me how I might find it?
I have a current professional and scholarly interest in environmental education. In particular, my interest as a Landscape Architect is the perceived disconnect between environmental education and the practice of environmental stewardship at youth camps, outdoor and environmental education centers. Understanding how effectiveness is measured is an important component to this, so I look forward to reading the information in the other posts.
Thank you,

Disconnect? Environmental Education & Design
2011-06-24 11:23:12 UTC
Hello, I'm new to the forum and am hoping to learn if there are others here who share my interest in environmental education. I have a current professional and research interest in what I perceive is a disconnect between environmental education and environmental design at youth camps, outdoor and environmental education centers. In practice, I've visited many facilities that provide high quality educational programming, but yet often fail to practice environmental stewardship in the design and development of their structures and site. I believe that through an intentional and thoughtful design process, these centers can develop outdoor education facilities and programming that instill a deeper, more meaningful connection with nature.
If you share this interest or perhaps know of other similar studies, papers or projects, I welcome the opportunity to discuss those with you. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Thanks for considering my request!
