This conference will provide participants – i.e. you - with an opportunity to learn, discuss, and plan for “Education for the 21st Century,” whether they’re students, teachers, educators, or just interested in the topic. Keynote speakers, Deputy Minister of Education Roger Doucet and Director of E-Learning Debbie Good, will speak about the Department of Education’s new approaches to education, 21st Century Learning and community schools, and how these relate to education for sustainability. Members of the Youth Environmental Action Network will also be speaking about the things they REALLY want to be learning about. Plus, we get to go outside (not to mention a day off school)!
