Outdoor Education Australia, together with co-host Outdoors Victoria, will host the National Outdoor Education Conference (NOEC) 2024 from Wednesday 4 to Friday 6 December.
This biennial Conference, held nationwide for 46 years since 1978, is the largest for outdoor education and recreation in Australia. It is the first time NOEC has been held in Victoria since 2007. The event will be held at the beautiful Federation University Australia’s Gippsland Campus.
You can expect inspiring keynote presenters, a hall of over 30 exhibitors, including equipment businesses, NFPs, and government agencies brimming with resources, ample networking opportunities, and carefully crafted professional development sessions and workshops that will inspire innovation and empower you to thrive in a dynamic and changing environment.
We plan to create a comprehensive program that covers a range of important topics across FIVE different streams:
-Outdoor education discovery: Profiling the latest developments
-The restorative nature of the Outdoors: Growing community health & wellbeing
-Indigenous connections & diverse communities: Embracing different perspectives
-Action on climate change: Embedding sustainable practices & being climate-ready
-Strong foundations: Building quality operations & supporting thriving teams
