Case Studies

Why case studies? We believe that exploring and discussing these real-life scenarios can benefit not only people already working in EE, but also future educators. They’re a natural fit for professional development workshops and online seminars. And they can add authenticity to university courses with engaging approaches to topics as wide-ranging as economics, public health, and environmental justice. Many of the case studies can also be adapted for use with high school students. Whatever your own focus, we hope this collection sparks new ideas for how you can bring the issues of our time to life in ways that resonate, engage, and motivate. 

Be sure to also explore our GEEP's case study e-book, Environmental Education in Action: Learning from Case Studies Around the World, which introduces case studies as a valuable learning tool and dives into key topics in environmental education.
