Contributors and Support GET was formed in 2003 through a collaborative effort between the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education (WCEE) and the Global Environmental Management Education Center (GEM) in the College of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. GEM’s purpose is to pioneer and apply practical learning methods and technology to solve natural resource problems by linking faculty, students and citizens worldwide. www.uwsp.edu/cnr/gem The WCEE was established in 1990 to promote, develop, disseminate, implement, and evaluate environmental education programs in Wisconsin. The WCEE works to improve environmental education throughout the state of Wisconsin. www.uwsp.edu/cnr/wcee Base funding for the GET Project was provided by a GEM cooperative agreement with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.

GET is a non-profit organization dedicated to the
advancement of global environmental literacy. The goals of GET are
accomplished through innovative educational programs using a combination of
computer technology and travel courses to elevate awareness and knowledge
about environmental education among diverse populations. GET brings the
world to the classroom by helping educators and students address questions
like: How do some teachers in China teach about the environment? What do
educators in South Africa do to address water issues with their students? This
program takes the classroom beyond state and national boundaries to the
global arena. Participants learn how others interact with their environment
while gaining a different perspective on environmental, political, and
social issues.
