Art helps us to visualise patterns inherent in living systems. Children have a natural ability to recognise and express the soul of nature. Art can create experiential engagement beyond just learning about plants and animals. Integrating environmental education into art is already challenging how students see and relate to the natural world. Design thinking is a great innovative tool for tackling complex systemic sustainability challenges.

We welcome research and practice submissions, including but not limited to:

• Researchers, educators, artists, and experts to share their reflexive experiences in terms of rising knowledge and sensitivity of the environment and environmental challenges.
• Innovative proposals that include art and design activities as critical elements of their experiences.
• The contribution of art and design in developing skills to identify and help resolve environmental challenges.
• Ways that art can be used to increase integrated and international participation in activities that lead to the EE.
