Environmental Education in Bregenz, Austria

  Austria

Bregenz

Term: Summer 
Dates: July 5 - 20

Description: The environmental education program in Bregenz, Austria has been developed for teachers, educators, and persons interested in comparing the environment in which they live with Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Lake Constance, the summits of the Swiss mountains, and the gentle rolling hills of southern Germany provide the natural geographic borders for Bregenz. It lies just a few miles from the German and Swiss borders, which makes it an excellent place for exploring the historical, ecological, and cultural aspects of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

Highlights: While in Bregenz, the Institute will sponsor numerous opportunities to visit important natural, cultural, and historical sites in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. These excursions will provide participants with active, hands-on experiences to assist in assessment and comparisons of environmental education and the associated values, ethics, and responsible human actions that are a part of these cultures. On the weekends, participants will be given the opportunity to travel independently.
