will take place from 15-19 June 1996 in Gland, Switzerland at IUCN Headquarters. It will focus on EDUCATION AND THE BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY FOR EUROPE - A CASE STUDY APPROACH. It is designed as a follow up to last year's workshop on "Biodiversity Education and Communication" in Valsain, Spain, but colleagues who could not come to Valsain are, of course, most welcome too.

Our main focus will be on case studies and examples of good practice from the following four sectors: decisions makers, media, formal education/schools, community level (with an emphasis on rural areas). If you have examples from other sectors, please tell us, and we shall try to include them.

A special session will be devoted to 'Research in support of biodiversity education'. You are therefore invited to present a case study or brief account of such a research programme within this framework. Unfortunately there will be on time for the presentation of general papers. We would especially request that working group members from the Valsain Workshop update us on the progress of their work.
