Education and Outreach Working Group

Stage One: Existing Environmental Education Program Mapping Project


Education and community outreach are shaping up to be core objectives for Canberra City Farm. Environmental education is a broad category and is addressed in many different ways. Great work has been done in community education over an extended period of time in the Canberra region. We would like to see Canberra City Farm find its niche in the context of these existing efforts. As such we believe that our first step as a group should be to review and map the content and accesability of existing relevant programs.

We've set up some google documents to help us collaborate and organise our information. Please feel free to add what you can. If you've been working in some other format it should be fairly easy to transfer, otherwise send your files and I'll see what I can do.

The first one is to document programs in operation around the Canberra area, or further a field if they could be similar to our project. This may include dedicated environmental centres, other community groups, schools and local council programs. Please cover as much detail as possible, especially in terms of accessibility i.e. who is allowed to access the program, costs and who is the target audience. The other links are to documents to help us manage ourselves. They include contact details, and over time we may be able to record tasks we are working on and completed activities. Please add yourself if you would like to contribute and be kept up to date with group progress.
