About EEASA 2026
This year, the Environmental Education Association of Southern Africa and the Malawi Local Organising Committee invites researchers, educators, policymakers, and practitioners to gather in Malawi — the Warm Heart of Africa — for the EEASA 2026 Annual Conference. Hosted at the Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe, this three-day event brings together voices from across the region and beyond to reimagine the role of education in confronting our planet’s most urgent challenge: the climate crisis.
