Bridging Land, Learning and Culture LIMITED

Great Blue Heron
Experience a transformative approach to outdoor education that bridges Indigenous knowledge with cross-curricular learning. Developed in collaboration with land based leaders and educators, our Outdoor Education curriculum immerses students in activities like wildlife identification, tracking, traditional harvesting, and seasonal activities like wild rice gathering, trapping, and ice fishing. Through discussion, this workshop will guide participants through integrating these land-based practices with key academic subjects, including literacy, math, and science.

Participants will explore how to braid together outdoor education, traditional knowledge and curriculum expectations. They will discover how doing this can enrich students' learning, promote respect for Indigenous heritage, and empower educators to build meaningful connections between culture, community and the classroom.

This workshop is presented by outdoor educators Weslie, Daniel and Alysha-Lynn, who live and work in Lac Seul First Nation, Ontario.
