International Board

 

International Board

The organization of Caretakers of the Environment International (CEI) is the responsibility of an International Board consisting of representatives of national branches. It is our aim to have the Board reflect the diversity of the global Caretakers community. The board meets multiple times a year, including during the annual conference. The Board is responsible for amongst others the following tasks:

  • The management of the organization
  • Selecting countries wishing to host an annual CEI conference
  • Advising and supporting the host of the annual CEI conference
  • Stimulation of cooperation of teachers and students from various countries by means of e.g.:
    • Development of an international network of Caretakers for the Environment
    • The production and distribution of an annual magazine following a conference (the Global Forum for Environmental Education)
    • Encouragement of joint projects between delegations ahead of each conference
  • Evaluating the progress of Caretakers of the Environment International and its direction.
