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.
2006: In 2006, 290 individuals
participated in day-long Regional and Provincial Summits on EE. Summit
participants suggested initiatives that would help
advance
environmental education in Alberta; to capture these ideas, the
Multi-stakeholder Steering Committee has consequently drafted a
“Framework to Advance Environmental Education in Alberta,” a detailed plan specifying activities and outputs for each
of several dozen outcomes that would help advance EE in Alberta.
March 2007: Face-to-face consultation with over 100 EE stakeholders across Alberta on draft of Framework.
April 2007: Release of final draft of Framework, based on input.
May 24, 2007:
“Alberta Summit on Environmental Education - A Call to Action” (Delta
Lodge at Kananaskis). Over eighty stakeholders gave valuable input into how to implement the
Framework - and 46 made an individual commitment towards implementation. Find out more about this successful event.
August 2007:
Framework Implementation/Action Plan released.
2007, 2008... EE stakeholders work together to simultaneously deliver on the mission of their organizations - and help implement the Framework. ACEE will facilitate this collaborative work, and may help deliver on some elements of the Framework.
