The Conference -like Version you ‘re going to read won’t deal with all the themes taken up in the Full Version. A lot of practical experiences and several notional references have been removed. For example, that ‘s the case of social psychology’s contributions and the notional basis of environmental education.
The reason for these omissions lies in the original purpose of the Version.: it was in fact the preparation of a general two-hour-course, intended for a little group of 20 students and which finally… never took place !
In order to help you, I suggest you should have a look at this summary whose links will take you to the corresponding parts.
Anyone interested in this kind of general performance or even in a more complete one, in order to use it in a seminar, a course, an exhibit, or some kind of educational program, can contact me.
