CERES Education

CERES – Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies, is an award winning, not-for-profit, sustainability education centre and urban farm located on 4.5 hectares on the Merri Creek in East Brunswick.

Through social enterprises, education and training, employment and community engagement, CERES provides the means by which people can build awareness of current local and global issues, and join in the movement for economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Once a rubbish tip, we are now an oasis of green and community place where people can come to “fall in love with the Earth again.”

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
