IFLA EAA EAct WG - Education Activities Working Group
Since 2023, IFLA has organized a global network of educational activities on an annual basis. The goal is to expand IFLA’s reach among students, academics, and institutions, while also addressing regional differences that challenge the notion of landscape architecture as a universally unified discipline. Indeed, this initiative aims to foster the development of a culturally broader and more inclusive community of landscape architects. It emphasizes the importance of research and the nurturing of Future Leaders in the field, including future practitioners and academics alike, as well as of a Global Landscape Academia that could serve as a valuable resource for capacity-building among educators in the field. To support this mission, IFLA has established the Education Activities Working Group, which is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the annual organization of the educational network, ensuring alignment with other IFLA initiatives.
