The Societat Catalana de l’Educació
Ambiental (Catalan Society of Environmental Education) was
created in 1985 in order to promote a renewed education that
considers both social and environmental problems. At the same
time, this association pursues the objective of contributing
into the formation of citizens able to analyze such problems,
as well as finding solutions. Since its creation, the association
builds up shared projects with an interdisciplinary approach
that are distributed among the whole Catalan geography.
It is formed by professionals and people interested in the
field of environmental education. The members come from very
different professional and academic backgrounds with the common
aim of working for sustainability through the work in the
field of education.
