Storied Landscapes: Strategies and activities for place-response teaching and learning LIMITED
Friday May 9, 2025 2:00pm - 3:15pm MDT
Deer
As we accept the reality that we are in the opening act of an environmental polycrisis, educators are often looking for ways to instil hope and agency in their students, and doing this with a connection to the wisdom of the land. How can we develop confident practices of inquiry with our students that embrace nature as co-teacher? How can we re-introduce ourselves to our earthly home while finding outdoor solutions to classroom problems, not to mention global challenges? Participants will explore experiential tools for introducing climate change to students, practice restorative sensory interaction with the landscape, and weave their stories together with those of others to build a vision for place-responsive learning that contends with environmental anxiety and apathy.
