What we do
Events
AAEEWA organise regular events throughout the year including Catchments Corridors & Coasts, a finalist in the 2009 WA Environmental Awards. This three day, professional development course is for environmental educators, local and state government personnel, sustainable schools initiative participants, teachers, student teachers, university and TAFE students community groups and members and youth organisations.
Meetings
The network group meets every month on the third Thursday from 4.00 to 5.30pm. This provides an opportunity to keep in touch about the developments in Environmental Education in WA and to plan for joint projects with a diverse range of people. The Bunbury branch holds regular meetings for members who live in the South West.
Workshops/Camps
At least three times a year we have guest speakers involved in environmental education who inform members about their innovative programs. Topics cover threatened species, new computer programs for schools, Aboriginal education, government initiatives and much more. The AAEE branch in Bunbury organises an annual workshop in spring, with overnight accommodation to promote liaison with metropolitan members. National and internationally prominent speakers are part of the program. There are also visits to significant environmental education sites in the area.
