The Standing Conference on the Arts, Education and the Environment
Fri 26 Jul 2024 to Fri 26 Jul 2024
Big Brum presents, in partnership with the National Association for Environmental Education – UK and the Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust, The Standing Conference on the Arts, Education and the Environment. This is the second annual event for the Standing Conference. New participants are actively welcomed and there is no charge for attendance.

“Children are too often sold a false promise that small things (walking to school, switching lights off) will have a bigger impact than they do. We need a wider conversation …” – Solihull teacher.

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.
