We believe sustainability education is vital

AAEE NSW is here to help NSW-based environmental educators from all sectors to get involved, connect with others, and grow their knowledge and skills through professional development. We are a vibrant incorporated Chapter managed by an enthusiastic Executive Committee.

In NSW we provide leadership and direction for all who design, deliver and/or evaluate Education for Sustainability/Environmental Education. Many different sectors are represented within our membership and Committee.

AAEE NSW operates within a detailed Strategic Plan. We report on our activities quarterly against the Plan; in detail and by infographic.

  • We have a strong advocacy role, making a range of submissions relating to environmental education on behalf of our members.
  • We represent environmental educators across the state in discussions and debates, and provide recommendations on sustainability issues and directions for a sustainable future.
