Session Description

Join fellow IUCN CEC Members for an energizing kick-off at the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2025 at the Nature-based Education Pavilion. Congress Connections is the place for educators, communicators, and conservation leaders to exchange ideas, share successes, and explore new approaches to nature-positive action. The session will open with lightning-round introductions, giving participants a fast, lively way to meet fellow members and discover shared interests from the start. Afterwards, dynamic conversations and informal networking will highlight innovative projects, transformative education strategies, and inspiring stories from every region. Whether you are a long-time CEC member or a first-time participant, Congress Connections offers a welcoming space to spark collaborations, strengthen professional ties, and help shape the global agenda for communication and education in conservation for the years ahead.
