How we Built the Framework

Since 2005 we have convened three consultation workshops, three regional Summits, and two provincial Summits on environmental education.  Through this process we have successfully engaged over 440 individuals, representing 180 environmental education stakeholder organizations, in co-creating and helping deliver on the Framework to Advance
Environmental Education in Alberta.
