Questions​ 

Community engagement is important in school-based environmental, sustainability, and climate change education. But many questions remain open, such as:

• How can communities strengthen place-based and project-based environmental education in schools?

• How can climate and sustainability education in schools benefit from the diversity of ideas and cultures in communities?

• How can schools contribute to environmental justice and social justice in communities?

• What is the role of community engagement in transforming school-based environmental and science education?

• What is the role of community members and local nonprofits in fostering environmental stewardship, climate action, activism, and policy-making among school children?

• How can we support school-community collaboration to advance environmental education?

​

Goal

We aim to advance community engagement in school-based environmental education. This panel will allow community engagement experts learn from each other, and share their frameworks with any environmental educators and teachers in the U.S. and elsewhere.
