Learning for Sustainability Video Conference Festival
A festival that "aims to showcase and share best practice in pedagogy and school management in the area of environmental education and sustainability".
The Learning for Sustainability Video Conference Festival was successfully piloted in 2010 and was the recipient of various awards including a Year of Learning for Sustainability Award of Excellence.
Over 50 video conferences focusing on environmental and sustainability education will run from Monday 6th to Friday 10th June and will include presentations from teachers, students, environmental education centres, government and non government providers.
Teacher professional development sessions are free and occur before and after school. Student sessions run during normal teaching hours and cost $20 or less per session. Most video conferences will run for approximately 30 minutes plus question time.
Staff from the Royal National Park Environmental Education Centre are conducting four video conferences during the week.
