Victorian Association for Environmental Education

Feedback from VAEE's Members

VAEE is looking to gather ideas from its members, and the public, on the role it plays in the environmental education spectrum, including the resources and services it provides.The recent annual conference highlighted the need for our organisation to remain relevent and beneficial in supplying educators with the skills and knowledge they need. Increasingly, the area of environmental education is seeing new organisations start-up and it's important that VAEE provides a unique and valuable platform to mebers and the wider-community. Possible starting points might be:

What should a member actually get from their membership?

What type of events and programs are most needed?

Can VAEE be doing more to assist teachers and facilitators in education for sustainability?

Is an annual conference the best way to engage with its members?

VAEE would greatly appreciate if members, or even visitors to this site, took a few minutes to supply some feedback. You can send an email with any suggestions to vaee@vaee.vic.edu.au.
