Greetings from Pittsburgh: The NAAEE Conference 2024 Recap!
The great Pennsylvanian poet Taylor Swift once asked, “are
there still beautiful things?”. The NAAEE Conference in Pittsburgh proved the answer is a resounding YES!
I was lucky enough to be able to attend the North American Association for Environmental Education Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from the 6th-9th of November 2024! I met the most incredible people, made the most wonderful friends, and learned more than I ever could have dreamed of. It was constructive, challenging, enlightening, inspiring and joyful. This episode is a recap of that event, but also a huge thank all of the beautiful souls who made the conference what it was. I feel so grateful that I was able to share a few days with you!
The episode starts by explaining my history with NAAEE and
recounting my visit to the Pittsburgh Zoo! Then I recap all of my favourite moments from the conference. I talk about some of the major themes, and share some of the lessons I learned.
