The 40th Conference for the Environmental Education Association of Southern Africa (EEASA), held at the University of Namibia from 23rd to 25th August 2022 was definitely the event of the year for everyone involved in Environmental Education. Some of the Amanzi for Food Learning Network Team members also attended the conference. Ms Khuthala Swanepoel presented: Strengthening partnerships: A key to accelerating regional post-Covid-19 recovery efforts and addressing emerging challenges in advancing Education for Sustainable Development 2030 Agenda and beyond. Mr Job Tjikongo showcased the Ombombo mobile classroom which is a lab, classroom or cinema on wheels. This Eduventure initiative focuses on bringing environmental education to the most remote areas of Namibia. Dr Wilma van Staden presented “Post-Covid capacity building through digital learning platforms towards sustainability: what we’ve learned and the way forward”. She also presented a workshop on ethics-led action learning in primary school curriculum settings. The EEASA conference was truly a great success and created a collaborative engaging learning space for the southern African ESD community.

Good work.
