IB Asia Pacific Regional Workshops
@ Cliftons Training Centre, Melbourne (15 – 17 June)
Cliftons Training Centre is our partner for hosting workshops in
2007. We have received many favourable feedback from
participants who loved the location and accessibility.
@ Narrabundah College, Canberra (10 – 12 July)
This event took place after AAIBS Conference at Narrabundah College in Canberra, Australia. It was winter time but the spirits of the participants were high!
22nd Annual Regional Conference 2007 @ The Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore (5 – 8 October 2007)
Theme: Educating for Environmental Sustainability
Registration for the conference is going at top speed with 90% of the seats taken! It seems an apt time to hold this conference with the keen interest shown by the registrations.
You can expect to hear from plenary speakers such as Sheldon Shaeffer (Director UNESCO Bangkok), Robert Doddridge Steele (Associate and Senior Trainer; AtKisson Group International), David Hales (President, College of the Atlanti), Kartikeya V. Sarabhai (Founder, Indian Centre for Environmental Education).
