12th Annual SEEA Conference & Research Symposium

A One Health approach to environmental education emphasizes a connected view of our planet and the humans, animals, and environments that create our world. “One Health, One World, Learning Together” will introduce using One Health concepts in environmental education programming. Using a holistic approach to environmental learning emphasizes the ways we are connected to our environments and how the choices humans make everyday affect the world around us. Sharing stories about our connected planet gives learners of all ages and backgrounds a chance to see how our world is interconnected and how choices we make in our region can affect humans and wildlife around the world. Using Louisville Zoo programs as examples this presentation will explore how to create and grow programming that engages people across boundaries and encourages compassion. Participants will learn program strategies that work, brainstorm program topics, and get tips for building community partnerships to support connected long-term programming.
