This two day conference will focus on professional development opportunities for our sector and include a mix of presentations and practical workshops, social and educational opportunities, and the chance to network with your colleagues and peers.
The theme of the conference asks you to consider which pathways will best guide us forward, and encourages you to share your insights, knowledge, skills and ideas.

True North Conference offers the chance for outdoor leaders, educators, programmers and managers to enhance their skills, extend their networks, workshop ideas and solutions, and be re-inspired.

Learning For Sustainability Project .
The University of Queensland, together with Education Queensland's Outdoor and Environmental Education Centres conducted a Learning For Sustainability Project. The project was designed to enhance our theoretical understanding of the role and impact of nature-based environmental learning experiences, identify factors that facilitate learning for sustainability, and develop empirically-based best practice principles to support O&EECs in optimising student learning for sustainability. The results of this research have been published and are available on the Learning for Sustainability website.
This study and a number of other studies are reviewed and summarised in the research commisioned by the Outdoor Council of Australia entitled the Outdoor Activity Benefits Catalogue. This catalogue will be available to OEAQ members before the end of 2008.
