What does it take to enable students to see the planet as one interdependent environment? Caretakers of the Environment International (CEI) believes this can best occur through having students meet and work together.
By organizing annual international conferences, making available a periodical for teachers and students by teachers and students, establishing national branches and organizing national and regional workshops, CEI tries to establish a worldwide network of secondary school teachers and students who are actively concerned about environmental issues and who are willing to do something about these issues through their education and their action-taking.
The network intends to be a podium for teachers and students to change concerns, ideas, strategies, actions, and projects in the field of environmental education.
