EAZA Education Conference 2025

The EAZA Education Conference is a biennial event hosted by a different institution each time. It brings together educators from across Europe and beyond for three days of presentations, workshops, and activities focused on sharing good practice and highlighting future trends in zoo and aquarium education. Regularly attracting 150-180 delegates, the EAZA Education Conference provides invaluable opportunities for educators to connect with each other and share their experiences.

The EAZA Education Conference 2025 will be hosted by Chester Zoo, United Kingdom, from 17-21 March, 2025.

Call for Abstracts!

The EAZA Education Conference 2025 will explore the role and impact of zoo education and the different ways in which zoo educators can contribute to societal change and conservation locally, nationally and globally, through the following themes:

• Evidencing our impact

• Developing our role as leaders

• Enhancing human wellbeing

• Ensuring everyone has a voice

• Finding new ways to engage people with conservation

We invite delegates to submit Video Posters and Talks showcasing how zoo education programmes are connecting with global conservation frameworks and organisations, including the Global Biodiversity Framework, Sustainable Development Goals, COP treaties and the work of the IUCN, as well as the national, regional and international zoo associations.

We also welcome proposals for Discussion Sessions that enable participants to reflect on how zoo educators can play a further role in shaping and contributing to these global agendas and initiatives.
