This two-day symposium will bring educators and their partners together to experience and learn about nature-based learning through engagement with the environment, relationship-building, discussion, and workshops.
Participants will leave with a better understanding of the benefits of nature-based learning, practical tools for implementing nature based learning, and connections to a network of practice.
We invite you to join us for one or both days, whatever works best for you.
For more information, please visit our symposium page.
Participants will:
- Learn about nature based education as a means of meeting their students’ social emotional needs by connecting them to themselves, their environment, and each other
- Build understanding around how nature based learning can be used to meet educational goals around content and character
- Develop a framework for incorporating nature-based learning into their work with students
- Create a plan of action for implementing nature based learning
