5-7 MARCH 2013, SYDNEY

Water Education, Water Efficiency & Water Skills National Conference

AWA consulted widely across the water sector and held its first education conference in January 2004. Since then, AWA has successfully run three more education conferences which have been widely supported by members of the Water Education Network.

Education and community engagement are key components for sustainable water management. This space is ever changing and effectively engaging with schools and communities means adapting to new frameworks, technologies and priorities. The fastest way to learn is from each other and this conference will facilitate networking, sharing ideas and professional development for anyone who is involved in water education or community programs.
