More than 200 people took part in the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) Education Conference, hosted by #NatureForAll partner Chester Zoo in March 2025.
The EAZA Education Conference 2025 explored 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.
“The education work of zoos and aquariums has the potential to contribute to local communities, national agendas and global conservation goals and targets, said Tomislav Krizmanić, EAZA Conservation Education Committee vice-chair.
In all, 120 institutions representing 42 countries participated.
As part of this biennial event, bringing together educators from across Europe and beyond, participants were invited to share their Love Nature stories, either in writing or through video.
