Environmental Education is a lifelong learning practice and interdisciplinary pedagogy that helps individuals and communities learn more about their own landscapes and cultivate the knowledge, skills, relationships, and efficacy to address local and global environmental issues. It not only informs and inspires action for learners of all ages but has the capacity to transform lives and society itself. Environmental Education is a key tool in supporting environmental stewardship, creating healthier and civically-engaged communities, and promoting a sustainable future for all, driven by the inseparable aspirations of ecological & social responsibility and justice. Not only does the environment inherently sustain all life on earth, our personal and cultural identities are often tied to the landscapes around us as well. Environmental Education honors all the elements of the human-nature relationship, from today’s groundbreaking scientific concepts to traditional epistemologies where modern languages fail to articulate our deep connections to the earth. Environmental Education at Prescott College also promotes Best Practices in the field, recognizing the myriad of benefits when pedagogy is experiential, student-centered, and place-based in the surrounding human and biological communities.
