"Wherever our heads might be, our feet are planted on the ground in our land, in the specific reality of our land." -Amilcar Cabral

I am Cíntia Parreira. I am a techer in Brazil. I teach English as a foreign language and I am interested in teaching English using the Environmental issues as source of language. At present, I am a Master student and I am studing how MWEEs can help me teach English while raising students awareness about climate change and its consequences. I am a mother of two beautiful daughters and I am really into nature and teaching. So I believe MWEEs will help me structure better classes for my students.

I am an environmental education researcher in the Civic Ecology Lab at Cornell University.

Katie has been active in the field of environmental education for more than 20 years. She currently works as an environmental and outdoor learning consultant, partnering with the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) to strengthen environmental education networks and support national initiatives that build capacity across the field. Previously, Katie served for 17 years as Executive Director of the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education (CAEE), where she led environmental literacy planning and implementation efforts and helped advance environmental education through statewide partnerships, policy, and collaboration. Her work continues to focus on building the people, partnerships, and systems needed to ensure everyone has access to high-quality environmental and outdoor learning opportunities.

I have been in the field of environmental education and interpretation for 18+ years for various state, federal and local agencies as well as non-profits. I currently work for the City of Indianapolis Parks Department at Garfield Conservatory. I was a naturalist educator for 9 years, before becoming the assistant manager, now going on about 3 years. We host field trips and public programs throughout the year and engage with the public daily. My education specialities include: native plants; ethnobotany; our food systems as it relates to plants and the peoples producing them; gardening and birds. Although, I love all aspects of environmental education and interpretation to a degree. I was recently on the board of our local Audubon Chapter, but now I have joined the Environmental Education Association of Indiana as a member of it's board. My goal on the board is to help bring about professional development opportunities for formal and non-formal environmental and science educators in Indiana.

I'm a student who works as a nanny with young children with a basis of emergent and nature-based teachings.

I am the Forestry Education Specialist for the Indiana DNR Division of Forestry and Indiana State Coordinator for Project Learning Tree. My goal is to provide quality, accessible activities and resources to Indiana educators, students, and families to explore our state's diverse, productive, and resilient forest ecosystems. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and birding.
