Presented by the Big Brum in partnership with the National Association for Environmental Education – UK and the Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust.
“A clearing is a place where things can thrive again” – 2024 participant
This is the third session of the Standing Conference. New participants are actively welcomed and there is no charge for attendance.
The standing conference brings arts educators and environmental educators (including teachers and school leaders) together on an annual basis to:
• develop creative and innovative practice;
• share key debates and examples of practice;
• explore synergies and new syntheses and enable new partnership opportunities.
It aspires to open up a ‘cultural front’ in the struggle for quality education, sustainability and the environment. It aims to enable understanding and fresh thinking between the arts education and environmental education sectors, thereby enabling more effective and imaginative working.
The 2025 event provides an opportunity to explore the EcoPark and its work and then collaborate with others to use the site as a creative playground for arts and environmental education ideas and approaches.
Date: 17th September 2025, 10am to 2pm
Location: EcoPark, Small Heath, Birmingham
Cost: Free to attend
