Teaching environmental education in primary and secondary schools through collaborative community projects: benefits and barriers

Teaching environmental education in primary and secondary schools through collaborative community projects: benefits and barriers
Teaching environmental education in primary and secondary schools through collaborative community projects: benefits and barriers
Community education is about creating opportunities for community members - individuals, schools, businesses and public and private organisations - to become partners in addressing community needs. Much of the literature about community education indicates that educational participation among children and adults is strongly connected with the individual's integration into community life (McGivney, 1993). This article outlines the findings of a WWF-UK funded community project to promote education for sustainable development (ESD), through collaboration between Southampton schools and the local community.

Abstract

Community education is about creating opportunities for community members - individuals, schools, businesses and public and private organisations - to become partners in addressing community needs. Much of the literature about community education indicates that educational participation among children and adults is strongly connected with the individual's integration into community life (McGivney, 1993). This article outlines the findings of a WWF-UK funded community project to promote education for sustainable development (ESD), through collaboration between Southampton schools and the local community.
