CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

Using Communication to Make Environmentally Sustainable Development
Happen

An international workshop entitled "Using Communication to Make
Environmentally Sustainable Development Happen" will take place
November 1-2, 1996, in Burlingame, California (near San Francisco).

Leaders in environmental education and communication from around the
world will come together to share lessons learned; a compilation of
these lessons and experiences will then go to the donor community to
help maximize the impact of environmental funding.

The workshop organizers hope to include as many presentations as
possible drawn from developing country experience and by developing
country professionals.

Sponsors include the U.S. Agency for International Development through
its Environmental Education and Communication (GreenCOM) Project; World
Wildlife Fund-U.S.; IUCN-The World Conservation Union; and World Wide
Fund for Nature-International.

The workshop will be held in conjunction with the annual conference of
the North American Association for Environmental Education.

Presentation submissions are due July 1, 1996 (or later under specific
circumstances).
