The Griffith University Centre for Innovation and Research in Environmental Education would like to express its appreciation to the United Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organisation - United Nations Environment Programme International Environmental Education Programme (UNESCO-UNEP IEEP) for the faith extended to the Centre in sponsoring this project. Appreciation is especially extended to the Associate Editors, Dr Michael Atchia, Dr Wimala Ponniah and Dr Orlando Hall of the UNESCO-UNEP IEEP for their support and advice during the development process.
The workshops were written by a team of environmental education specialists who work in different countries, universities, government departments and community environmental and development organisations. All gave of their time and talents willingly and for the reimbursement of their costs only. The project would have been impossible without them.
