2022 Global Environmental Education Parntership (GEEP) Asia- Pacific Regional Center Operational Project

Absrtact
Since the establishment of APRC in 2019, with a full year of operation from 2020 to 2021, the vision and operation direction of APRC has been established through four advisory committee meetings and external consultation meeting, as well as holding one international workshop and three classes of International Environmental Issues and Education workshops for youth. This year, continuing from last year's work, a total of 11 consultants from 8 ountries, including experts and practitioners from home and abroad, have been invited to join the Advisory Committee, with 4 virtual meetings been held. In addition, two external consultation meetings were held to review and revise the action plan of APRC. We also organized an International Environmental Issues and Education workshop for youth and a Reunion for Earth to invite former participants to share their experience. Despite the severe situation of the pandemic, the International Environmental Education Workshop was held online, inviting experts, scholars, and even GEEP Secretariat, which is the NAAEE, from all over the world to participate as speakers or moderators at the activity. In addition, APRC also keeps its website up-to-date in order to increase its visibility and exposure, and to achieve the vision of GEEP APRC. Overall, this is an international project in the Asia Pacific region, which is difficult to implement due to geographical and language barriers, and the impact of the pandemic force to change the original plan. After two years of operation, the team is now thinking of more approaches to organizing international activities. Perhaps other social media or resources can be developed to conduct activities, which is believed can enhance Taiwan's international image and promote the experience and achievements of environmental education to the world even better.
