Building communities of care LIMITED

This workshop focuses on teambuilding through hands on learning activities. It uses relational approaches to help create space for individuals to work together and engage in activities that supports students’ sense of belonging and well-being. These activities are most beneficial when implemented outdoors. They can be adapted for a wide range of ages. The activities encourage communication, reflection, expression and collaboration. They will show students the importance of working together and supporting one another which is essential in educational settings and contributes to students’ well-being. When students feel included and have strong connections and relationships with their peers they are more likely to be successful in other areas of learning.

Friday May 9, 2025 3:15pm - 4:30pm MDT
Plongez dans un atelier dédié aux éducateurs et conçu pour révéler les nombreux bienfaits de l’éducation en plein air. Découvrez comment intégrer des pratiques de pleine conscience dans votre quotidien professionnel. À travers des activités adaptées à la fois à la nature et aux espaces urbains, vous apprendrez à réduire le stress, et à adopter des rituels de bien-être qui favorisent le soin de soi. Ces pratiques, simples et accessibles, pourront être intégrées dans votre routine et partagées avec vos élèves pour modéliser des comportements de santé mentale positifs.

Plus qu'un simple apprentissage éducatif, cet atelier vous offrira des clés pour améliorer votre bien-être mental tout en permettant à vos élèves de bénéficier indirectement de ces bienfaits. Venez découvrir comment ancrer la pleine conscience dans votre environnement de travail et dans la vie scolaire, afin de nourrir vos propres pratiques et, par extension, celles de vos élèves. Un moment de ressourcement et de partage à ne pas manquer !
