CONFERENCE CONTI HALL
A Growing Network: Results, Participation and Future Directions of the INFEAS Lazio System
Education for sustainability is one of the most effective levers for supporting the ecological transition at local level. It is through knowledge, relationships and awareness that public policies translate into real change.
One year after the relaunch of the INFEAS Lazio network, the Lazio Region convenes this session to present results, highlight the participatory process activated across the territory and define the system’s future direction.
The conference connects regional experiences with the broader framework of the National Strategy for Sustainable Development, positioning education as a structural component of environmental and social policies. Bringing together institutions, technical bodies, research organisations and local actors, the session focuses on the experiences of the network’s nodes while strengthening coordination across governance levels, with the aim of developing the INFEAS Lazio Action Programme.
