Reflecting on the 5th World Environmental Education Congress, Montreal, 2009
Jickling, Bob
Journal of Education for Sustainable Development, v4 n1 p25-36 2010
This article traces the development of the World Environmental Congress movement and its establishment as an important international forum. Reflecting on the 5th Congress, it notes the particular contribution of the Congress theme, "Our Common Home". Finally, it considers environmental education's place alongside other parallel transformative education discourses that similarly seek to imagine radically new stories to live by. (Contains 3 figures.)
