Our
Story
The Ecological Education Network was founded in August 2024 as a continuation and extension of the "Ecological Alphabets" project and group. This group, in turn, whose name refers to the manifesto of the same name and the book by Laura Marchetti published by Progedit in 2012, was founded following the conference to present the letter for an ecological reform of the school, which took place on 2 December 2023 at the Liceo Socrate in Rome. The letter was born thanks to the contact between members of the Association for Degrowth, teachers from Teachers For Future and representatives from the world of culture and ecology. The participants of the conference, who came from a wide variety of contexts, shared the spirit and content of the letter and began to collaborate on it. After almost a year of reflection and work, the group has grown, emancipated itself and formed a network. The Network for Ecological Education, which, inspired by the intentions in the initial documents, has gradually turned its attention to schools in particular. How to be a teacher, what tools to use for the ecological education of young and small living beings, how to record experiences and future proposals.
Our last meeting took place on 14 and 15 September 2024 in the neighbourhood house "Katia Bertasi", and you can see it here. We look forward to meeting you at the next one!
