Abstract
Colleagues in the Asia South Pacific Bureau of Adult Education. It is a pleasure for me to be here at this conference, to be among so many adult educators, to see again people I met recently at Manila and to renew acquaintance with other people I have known for a long time.
It is my intention to talk today about environmental adult education, including education for sustainable development and appropriate technology-the trio of interests covered in this conference sub-theme. My discussion will centre on Australian experience in the belief that while the environment is a transnational issue we can all benefit from each other's local experiences in working with it.
Description
Dr. Shirley Randell’s address introduces environmental adult education in the South Pacific, focusing on sustainable development, appropriate technology, and community-based learning. Drawing on Australian experiences, she emphasizes a positive, action-oriented approach that blends global insights with local practice to empower adults in caring for their environment.
