European Forest Pedagogics Congress 2022

The topic of next year’s congress is "How to learn in and with nature in times of climate crisis? - European perspectives and solution".

It is undisputed that education must contribute to combating climate change. It is also clear that environmental education is predestined for this. This is especially true for Forestpedagogy and nature-based environmental education. But what can it do and how can it be effective?

• What does contemporary Forestpedagogy look like in times of climate change? What projects, programmes and approaches are there?
• How can/should forestpedagogic offers be designed so that they make a contribution against climate change? And how can they be further developed?
• How can insights from climate education enrich the Forestpedagogic methodology?

These and similar questions will be raised and discussed at the European Forest Pedagigics Congress 2022.

• lead a discussion on "Forest Education and Climate Protection" that suits you,
• plan, implement and evaluate concrete forest education activities on climate protection,
• collect and share results, 
• come to the 2022 Congress with as concrete results as possible, open to exchange, feedback and improvements.
