Join educator and acclaimed songwriter Remy Rodden for an engaging workshop on music as a transformative tool for environmental education. Drawing on years of experience bringing music into classrooms across Canada, Remy will lead you through singing, analyzing, and even creating your own environmental songs. You’ll leave with a toolkit of online resources and fresh ideas for integrating music, education, and environmental stewardship.

We’ll start with Remy’s “greatest hits”—audience-tested songs that embed environmental themes—and explore why these songs resonate with students. Together, we’ll discuss how they link to curriculum goals, boosting student engagement and retention. Then, it’s your turn! Participants are encouraged to share personal experiences using music in environmental education. We’ll dive into why music uniquely connects learners of all ages to ecological concepts. If time permits, we’ll wrap up by composing a collaborative, original environmental song!
