The rationale for this research project was to invite Congress participants to have a say in co-constructing an image of environmental education and a vision for its shared future. The results of the study describe an ever-changing and increasingly complex field. They also suggest converging and diverging pluralities, which can provide critical traction for practitioners who wish to critically reflect on ongoing developments in environmental education.  \nRésumé  \nCet article explique le contexte dans lequel s’est inscrit le 5e Congrès mondial d’éducation relative à l’environnement, présente les fondements théoriques à l’origine du thème du congrès, «Vivre ensemble, sur Terre», et relie ces élémentsau projet de recherche qui constituait la trame de fond de l’événement. Ce projet a permis aux participants de contribuer collectivement à la clarification et audéveloppement du champ de l’éducation relative à l’environnement, un domained’étude et d’intervention complexe et en constante évolution. Les résultatstémoignentd’une pluralité de visions et de significations, qui s’expriment à travers différentes positions, dont certaines sont divergentes et d’autres, convergentes. Ils sont de nature à inspirer lespraticiens souhaitant mener une réflexion critique sur les diverses voies de développement de l’éducation relative à l’environnement.  \nKeywords: environmental education, research, diversity, visions, critical reflection  \nIntroduction  \nGatherings of the magnitude of the 5th World Environmental Education Congress need to consider how to strengthen community building at these events. Importantly, this can include engaging Congress delegates in an ongoing process of co-defining, or co-creating, future imperatives in environmental education. To this end, we imagined that Congress delegates could be invited, throughout the Congress, to participate in a research process that examined some fundamental questions important in our field.  \nCanadian Journal of Environmental Education, 15, 2010 47  \nThe idea of weaving a research project through an entire Congress resonates with some of the questions about responsibility attached to such a large event. We were reminded of this in the opening and welcoming comments made by Haudenosaunee Elder, Henry Lickers. He spoke about the sacrifices made by the human and more-than-human world, and those left at home when delegates attended our Congress. He also reminded us of responsibilities we bear in using what we have learned in a good way and sharing the wisdom gained with those who were unable to travel to the Congress. With his words in mind, we reflect on what we have done together. First, we will frame the historical context of this event and discuss the Congress theme. We will then take up the research project later in the paper.  \nHistorical Context  \nEnvironmental education is important. It is a vital, responsive, and growing international movement. We say this with some confidence after 2,200 stakeholders from 106 countries participated in the 5th World Environmental Education Congress hosted in Montreal, Canada. There was a wealth of diversity and quality in the 1,028 presentations (Houle, Brière, & Bastien, 2009) . As a political statement, these numbers are significant. In practical terms, such an event provides valuable opportunities to compare experiences, expand networks, and initiate shared projects. On a more personal level, it is encouraging to be ","cbCaigCfIvX6OrVO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigCfIvX6OrVO","pdf",586769,21,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Historical Context\n## Origins and early congresses\n## Participation and growth\n## Secretariat and subsequent congresses","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the research project described in the paper?\",\"answer\":\"It invites congress participants to co-construct an image of environmental education and a vision for its shared future.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the congress theme relate to the research conducted throughout the event?\",\"answer\":\"The paper frames the theme “Earth our Common Home” through theoretical underpinnings and connects that theorizing to the embedded research project.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the study results suggest about the field of environmental education?\",\"answer\":\"The results describe a changing and increasingly complex field, highlighting converging and diverging pluralities that support critical reflection by practitioners.\"}]","The 5th World Environmental Education Congress - A Research Project | PDF",1792085124,53]
