In previous conference a great deal of the discussion concerned EE in formal educational systems. A lot of examples and ideas have been presented and discussed. EE has in many cases been implemented in using national and international networks and in many cases in co-operation with NGOs.

After the Rio Conference every country was supposed to start work on AGENDA 21 in order to create a sustainable society. The work is to be carried out on a local level and involve all the people and sectors in the community. According to AGENDA 21, 1996 is the year in which we will look both backwards and forwards to see how far we have come.

CEEE '96 will welcome teachers and educators from schools and NGOs. However new and important target groups for this conference are educators and in-service-training managers in public services and in business and industries, as well as teachers involved in vocational training at all levels. It should also be of great interest to discuss the role of mass media (radio, television, magazines and newspapers) in EE for the wider community.

At CEEE '96 there will be many opportunities to discuss specific topics in smaller special-interest groups. Before lunch there will be plenary sessions and after lunch there will be parallel seminars for the special-interest groups. The conference will end with some general conclusions and statements and will suggest ways to go further.

Target groups in-service-training mangers (public service, companies, etc.) teachers (Pre-school, Primary School and Secondary School) further education teachers (University, Polytechnics, Colleges, Vocational Training etc.) NGOs involved in environmental education journalists involved in environmental education
