polar educators international
By leading dialogue and collaboration between educators, and researchers, PEI
aims to highlight and share the global relevance of the polar regions. Join PEI
to be a part of this vibrant global network! Our Vision Polar Educators
International is an essential network of educators and researchers aiming to
provide a deeper understanding of current polar sciences to a global audience.
PEI represents all who work to inspire appreciation and build knowledge of the
polar regions, their connectedness to all Earth’s systems, and their importance
to all humans across latitudes and cultures. A PEI member is anyone who is
interested in making the poles accessible, promoting understanding and
stewardship of the polar regions, and seeking to grow polar literacy by
communicating polar science to the world. Goals COMMUNICATE: Develop a robust,
flexible, and trusted international presence COLLABORATE: Grow and strengthen
the PEI network and its relationships CREATE: Provide relevant and timely
opportunities for both education and scientific communities Polar Educators

of current polar sciences to a global audience. Core Values CREDIBLE: Experience
and knowledge build a robust scientific foundation which can be trusted by our
audiences and partners WELCOMING: Diverse backgrounds and perspectives
encouraging an accessible and empowered community agreeing to grow together

2019 and was later approved by the Council and Executive Committee. The Plan
outlines PEI's short and long-term (5-year) goals but is an ever-evolving
document reflecting the goals. It is intended to grow and change along with the
organization. The plan is available here: PEI Strategic Plan 2020-2025
