The 5th World Environmental Education Congress is designed to involve 
attendees directly in the process of environmental education by tackling 
real world issues in concert with players from around the globe. In this 
manner we will move to prepare the next generation of environmental 
citizens, in view of developing a population capable of making informed 
decisions regarding their personal well-being and that of all peoples on 
this, the planet Earth, our common home.

The program of the 5th World Congress will include invited speakers and 
guests of worldwide renown. A broad range of topics relevant to 
Environmental Education will be broached, each under their respective 
thematic niches, covering connected issues of health, economy, society, 
schools and universities, heritage, ethics, identity and indigenous 
practices.

International socio-scientific experts will be gathering to present their 
ideas and to discuss with others, through presentations in the form of 
workshops, oral presentations, round tables and posters. By means of a 
political forum, a discussion among different politicians and 
decision-makers will shed light on the contributions and action plans of 
their sectors. Additionally, a unique forum for NGOs and NPOs will allow 
delegates to come to know non-governmental and non-profit organizations 
active in environmental education, from Canada and beyond. Finally, a 
series of symposia animated by invited panelists will address specific 
themes and issues of interest to all.

A variety of parallel activities, special events and educational tours as 
well as an exhibition fair will also be part of this extensive program, 
offering all delegates the chance to interact with others working in this 
essential field.
