NZAEE Conference October 11 - 12

We're excited to announce our conference will be taking place later this year. In keeping with the theme of reconnecting with each other, nature and place, we will begin the conference with a Local Connection Day on 11th October in a range of locations around the motu. Please get in touch if you'd like to help coordinate in your area.

On 12th October we will move online with keynote speakers, presentations and interactive sessions. We are currently calling for interested teachers, education providers, academics and community members to submit your details to present as part of the conference. Click through to the conference page to find out more.

Registrations for participants will open at the end of Term Two and watch this space for a dedicated conference section on our website.
