A Curriculum of Connection: How Outdoor Education can help move the needle on Canada’s Sustainable Development Goals LIMITED
Friday May 9, 2025 3:15pm - 4:30pm MDT
Deer
Ultimately outdoor education is about building connections - helping participants connect to self, others, and the more than human world. As Outdoor & Environmental Educators we are passionate about taking people outside because we experience the value of it in our work every day. We know that our work can build resilience and social skills, foster a deep care for nature, and inspire curiosity, creativity and an environmental ethic in our participants. There is also an growing body of research that makes direct links between nature connection, combatting tech addiction, and improved mental and physical health outcomes. However, we are not always great at communicating the value of what we do to larger goals and impacts. In this interactive and experiential workshop we will explore the links between Canada’s  17 Sustainable Development Goals and the outcomes of outdoor learning.
