What we expect from Environmental Education, heightened of important content including sustainability, peace, world community, is first to provide information and knowledge and secondly to build values, shape attitudes that promote the formation of an "ecological" mentality that allows the individual to manage the uncertainties that we face on a daily basis in society. The workshop will be an opportunity to exchange ideas on how to do environmental education in schools: what the goals, methods, relationships between subject areas, relationships with the community and territory. Roberto Cavallo, President of AICA (International Association for Environmental Communication) moderate the meeting.
