Submissions to Journeys

Journeys exists as a way to share information with other Outdoor Educators.  We rely on contributors’ stories and articles to do this.  Readers can submit articles about matters of interest to outdoor educators. We are most interested in articles that describe your program, articles that are informative, opinionative or passionate about the practice of outdoor education.

Submissions should be emailed to education@voea.vic.edu.au in Microsoft word format. We prefer photos to be emailed as jpeg files. Please include contact details and a brief personal bio with all submissions.

Submissions are accepted on the understanding that they have not been submitted for publication elsewhere, and may be edited. Submissions may also be published on the VOEA web site.
