NOEC 2026 Calling for Papers, Workshops, Presentations

The 23rd National Outdoor Education Conference will be convened by the Outdoor Educators’ Association of Queensland and will be based at the Trinity Anglican School in Cairns, Queensland.

Call for papers, workshops, presentations.

Due date for submission: Monday, February 9, 2026

The success of the NOEC conference program will depend largely on the input and contributions from academics, practitioners, and administrators across the broad field of outdoor education. The purpose of this communiqué is to invite you to submit an expression of interest (EOI) to be involved in the program. In addition to the traditional conference presentations and workshops, a significant point of difference of the program in 2026 is that on Wednesday, 30 September, we are organizing workshops in-the-field. These workshops will use a broad range of activities to focus on a diverse range of topics.

They are inviting expressions of interest, using the electronic form below, for presentations in a range of concurrent sessions on the Tuesday and Thursday of the conference. The conference dinner is on Thursday night.
