Spero interessi Alessandro Gimona Dear Colleagues, We are sending in attach the First Announcement of CEEE Italy 2000, 7th CONFERENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN EUROPE : "Networking Environmental Education Networks: the role, trends, communication and integration of networks involved in education forenvironment and sustainability within local, national and European policies"
which we are organising in collaboration with the CEEE - Co-operation for Environmental Education in Europe and which is going to take place from the 26th to the 29th of September 2000 in Villa Manin di Passariano, Codroipo - Udine, Italy. You will find all information hereunder. Regione Autonoma Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Autonomous Region Friuli- Venezia Giulia) A.R.P.A. - Agenzia Regionale per la Protezione dell'Ambiente (Regional Agency for Environmental Protection) LaREA - Laboratorio Regionale di Educazione Ambientale del Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Friuli - Venezia Giulia Environmental Education Regional Centre) CEEE Co-operation for Environmental Education in Europe CEEE ITALY 2000 VII CONFERENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN EUROPE Networking Environmental Education Networks: the role, trends, communication and integration of networks involved in education for environment and sustainability within local, national and European policies 26th - 30th September 2000 Villa Manin di Passariano Codroipo - Udine (ITALY) 1st Announcement in collaboration with University of Trieste University of Udine the Conference is acknowledged by Italian Ministry of the Environment European Commission - Representation in Milano (Italy) IUCN - The World Conservation Union - Commission on Education and Communication Preliminary Registration Secretariat LaREA Laboratorio Regionale di Educazione Ambientale P.zza del Castello 7 - 33010 Colloredo di M.A. (UD) - Italy Tel.: ++39 0432 889014 / ++39 0432 889698 Fax: ++39 0432 889798 e-mail: larea at cifra.uniud.it Web site: http://www.larea.uniud.it Preliminary Registration Secretariat is open from Monday to Friday, 10.00-13.00 CEEE - Co-operation for Environmental Education in Europe CEEE is an international network specifically committed to Environmental Education and connecting people of every country in Europe (EU and other European Countries), who are involved in the development of education forenvironment and sustainability in their own countries. CEEE main objectives are: to implement Environmental Education, to have it adopted on all levels
in the community and to enhance its quality. One of the most important features of the group is the co-operation between researchers, teachers,educators and other practitioners, members of NGOs and Governmental bodies.
Thus CEEE links formal and informal education and crosses all existing boundaries in Europe CEEE organises a Conference every two years, which is called CEEE - Conference of Environmental Education in Europe and which is joined by a wider and varying group of people. This gives a good opportunity both to disseminate the expertise of CEEE group to the hosting country and to help participants share and upgrade their knowledge and experience, in order to achieve practical outcomes. The previous six Conferences took place in Roma - Italia (1988), Glasgow -Scotland (1990), Rotterdam / Leeuwarden - Netherlands (1992), Riga - Latvia (1994), Harnosand - Sweden (1996) and Lisboa / Sangalhos - Portugal (1998).
After Portugal 1998, CEEE entrusted LaREA to organise the VIIth Conference of Environmental Education in Europe.LaREA - The Environmental Education Regional Centre of the Autonomous Region
Friuli - Venezia Giulia LaREA is an example of the special environmental education (EE) structures (Environmental Education Local Centres) that have been set up in Italy in the 90s. It is situated in the middle of Friuli - Venezia Giulia region(north-eastern Italy), in Colloredo di Monte Albano Castle (near Udine) and
it is a centre for EE services for the whole region. It was set up in 1997 as a three-year project undertaken by the Regional Administration of Friuli -Venezia Giulia - Environment Department, which entrusted the Universities of Udine and Trieste to manage it. It was initially funded by the Italian Ministry of the Environment and thus it is part of the Italian National System for Environmental Education. In 2000 LaREA has become a permanent Centre of the Regional Administration, within the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection.LaREA networks EE activities on a regional scale. It works as a mediator in
the local environment, promoting communication and interaction between people and organisations, in order to set up a Regional System for Environmental Education. Thus LaREA carries out various functions: stimulating action, improving public awareness, training teachers andpractitioners, fostering exchanges of ideas and experiences within the field
of environmental education and sustainable development.

Participants will have to pay for their trip, hotel accommodation and meals. LanguagesThe official language of the Conference is English. Simultaneous translation
(English/Italian and Italian/English) will be provided in Plenary Sessions and in the Seminar. The Conference ThemeNetworks are a world wide topical subject in the age of globalisation. If we
focus on our geographical area - Europe - and on our activity field -education for environment and sustainability - we can see an increasing number and variety of networks: some are specifically devoted to EE, while others connect people and organisations working in related fields (e.g. environmental management, sustainable development, nature conservation, formal and informal education, training etc.).Such networks have different origins and aims, they connect different kinds
of organisations and can work on a local, national or international scale. It's a "system of systems" where boundaries can not be clearly defined,while links, communication, interaction, overlapping and synergies are worth
being tackled on the basis of systemic thinking, focusing on relations within each network and between different networks. Emergent questions are: * how does working in a network help environmental education to achieve its aim and to become integrated into environmental policies? * what does being part of a network mean in our everyday way of thinking and working in the environmental education field? * and how can different existing networks be efficiently and effectively integrated?The aim of the Conference is to tackle such topics in order to work out ways of enhancing positive strategies and overcoming difficulties related to the
activity and inter-linking of networks involved in EE. Furthermore, the Conference should provide good opportunities to analyse relations between EE networks and other networks involved in environmentalissues (e.g. Environmental and Nature Conservation networks, Local Agenda 21
networks, Protected Areas networks, ...). Preliminary Programme The Conference will include: Plenary Sessions; four Working Groups and a Seminar; Posters Session; Hypermedia and Books Corners. Plenary Sessions Plenary Sessions should provide a common cultural basis and a theoreticalbackground on networks, should tackle related cross-sectoral issues such as the use of new technologies and other instruments for a further development
and integration of EE Networks and should introduce different kinds of networks (related to the Working Groups topics). Working Groups Working Groups (WGs) will work in parallel. They will include, at the beginning, some introductory presentations related to the WG issue. Such presentations should follow the "Contribution scheme" suggested by the Programme Committee (see next pages). WGs will focus on their specifictopics in order to achieve practical outcomes. The results of WGs work will be synthesised in a final report, which the WG moderator will present in the
final Plenary Session. Working Groups will be focused on different "categories" of EE networks(which are basically characterised by their main aims, although overlapping
between such categories is likely to occur): 1. networks consisting mostly of schools (even in collaboration with local bodies or other organisations) and aiming to develop their own EE projects (and, in case, educational research) 2. networks (often governmental or officially recognised) aiming to co-ordinate and enhance mutual communication, sharing and interaction between EE centres and other bodies/organisations3. networks (often constituted by NGOs) aiming to promote and implement
their own EE programmes and campaigns, which are then joined by schools or other organisations 4. networks aimed at training in environmental education Seminar "Integration of EE networks and networks involved in sustainable development: the Italian situation as a case study within the European context". The seminar will deal with the general theme going deeper into the Italian situation as a case study: the integration between networks like theNational System for EE, the new system of the National and Regional Agencies for the Protection of Environment, the environmental associations networks, Sustainable Cities networks, Agenda 21 networks etc. Participants from other
countries are invited to join the seminar and to contribute to the discussion. (simultaneous translation will be provided) Posters SessionPosters Session will provide an opportunity to introduce other networks, in
order to integrate the WGs contents. Poster Session will include five sections, corresponding to the Working Groups titles and to the Seminar. Authors will have the opportunity of explaining their Posters to participants during the scheduled hours. Posters also should be drawn up according to the "Contribution scheme". Hypermedia and Books Corners Hypermedia and Books Corners will provide an opportunity to presentinstruments and materials related to the Conference issue. Exhibition space
is free of charge, but it should be booked before 15th May. (see the Preliminary Registration form) Preliminary Schedule 1°day, Tuesday 26th Sept. * Participants' arrival and reception * Setting up of Posters, Hypermedia and Books Corners 2° day, Wednesday 27th Sept. * Plenary Sessions: introduction; the epistemological basis of networks and their development in the age of globalisation, communication and new technologies; diversity and similarity of EE Networks: examples of different kinds of EE Networks 3° day, Thursday 28th Sept. * Working Groups and Seminar in parallel Sessions: presentations, joint work, discussion * Visit to Posters Session and Hypermedia and Books Corners 4° day, Friday 29th Sept. * Working Groups in parallel Sessions: drawing up of reports * Plenary Sessions: Working Groups reports, Conclusions * Planning of CEEE 2002 Conference 5° day, Saturday 30th Sept. * Participants' Departure The Final Programme will be issued in June-July 2000. Call for Papers Participants who would like to submit presentations to be included in the Working Groups sessions and/or Posters can submit an abstract of their contributions before 15th May 2000 to the Programme Committee, that willexamine and select them. Only contributions focused on the Conference theme
and on the specific topic of the selected Working Group or Poster Section will be accepted. Authors of selected abstracts will then be invited tosubmit the final text of their contribution within the Conference beginning.
Both abstracts and final text of W.G.s presentations and Posters should be drawn up according to the guide lines suggested in the "Contributions scheme", in order to co-operate in enhancing mutual communication, keepingthe Conference work focused on its topics and achieving practical outcomes.
According to such scheme every contribution should not just provide a general description of each network and its activities. Instead, eachcontribution - both Working Groups presentations and Posters - should tackle specific topics and problems related to networks through examples drawn from
practical experience. In other words, everybody is requested to filter her/his experience through a common grid, so that the same "key points" cross all contributions in which examples of networks are being presented. Should contributions submitted as WGs presentations exceed the practicable number, the Programme Committee might invite authors to turn their presentations into Posters. CONTRIBUTION SCHEME for abstracts and final texts of Working Groups presentations and Posters the following guide lines are suggested by the Programme Committee First part of the Contribution: description of the networkboth WGs presentations and posters should include the following information,
so that descriptions of different networks can be comparable and easier to understand for all participants 1) what are the main objectives/aims of your network? What is its origin? 2) what is the structure/architecture of your network? * what is the scheme of it? how would you illustrate it graphically? * who/what are the members/parts of your network? what is their hierarchical position in the network, if it is hierarchically organised? * who are these members/parts? what kind of organisations are they? * does your network include smaller networks and/or is your network included in wider networks?3) what is the organisation (roles, functions, activities) of your network?
* what is the role/task of the different members/parts of your network? * what are the functions that the different members/parts of your network carry out? * which environmental issues are the activities of your network related to? * how and from whom does your network get financial support?Second part of the presentation: analysis of some key points of working in a
networkContributions should analyse at least one of the following topics, in order
to contribute to WGs discussion 1) dependence and autonomy within the network (the balance between being dependent on the network and being autonomous within it), advantages and disadvantages of working in the network:* what are the ties/bonds that a "piece" of your network must accept, in what way does it depend on the network and what does its autonomy consist
of? * what do the members/parts gain from being part of your network and what are they expected to give in order to be part of the network? * how does the network influence its members/parts and how do themembers/parts affect the network? how does being part of a network influence
your way of thinking and working in the EE field? 2) how the use of new technologies affects the structure and the functions of EE networks:* what are the new technologies involved in the work of your network? * what are the advantages, the problems, the new needs related to the
use of new technologies in your EE network?* how does the use of new technologies affect the way your EE network
works? 3) efficiency and effectiveness of EE networks * what tools/instruments (e.g. data bases, surveys, news letters) do your network use to implement its efficiency and effectiveness?* what tools/instruments (e.g. indicators of progress, inquiries among
the participants) does your network use assess and evaluate its efficiency and effectiveness? Third part of the presentation: networking networks Finally, contributions should tackle the following topics, which are substantial to develop the Conference theme1) how does your network relate to other networks on a local, national
or international scale? 2) what relations with other networks would be necessary or useful to your network in order to implement its efficiency and effectiveness? 3) what are, in your opinion, the needs, problems and possible solutions related to networking existing EE networks on an European scale? Abstracts layout and submission The abstract of each WG presentation or Poster should include: * the kind of contribution: Poster or Working Group presentation; * the Poster session section (1/2/3/4) or the WG (1/2/3/4) in which their contribution should be included; * the title of the contribution (WG presentation or Poster); * the author(s) names(s) (if there are several ones, the suggested speaker should be placed first); * the full name of the organization; * city, country; * the abstract text; * a short curriculum vitae of the authors.
