Over Three Decades of Educational Innovation and Environmental Stewardship
Over Three Decades of Educational Innovation and Environmental Stewardship
Our purpose: To foster environmental literacy and stewardship in people of all ages.
At the Center for Global Environmental Education (CGEE), a program of Hamline’s School of Education and Leadership, we have built an enduring tradition of educational excellence, innovation, and leadership spanning more than three decades.
Education happens when learners connect with their subject matter. Our work combines storytelling - the world's oldest means of communication - with the modern tools of technology to build that connection. We use our expertise in the four cornerstone programs above to facilitate environmental literacy and stewardship.
Our work has evolved through the creation and implementation of acclaimed professional development programs for educators, dedicated in-house multimedia production, award-winning curricular resources for K-12 students, and multifaceted public outreach and education campaigns that have engaged millions of people. Our work fosters environmental literacy and stewardship, inspiring local action to address pressing global issues.
