A place-based practice is all about the way you perceive and engage with your surroundings. In this mini fieldwork session, you'll have the opportunity to expand the way you think about "place" as we discover and explore the Banff Centre campus together. You'll learn strategies and techniques to situate yourself, notice deeper, and cultivate your own curiosity. You'll leave with plenty of ideas and techniques to continue your place-based practice in your unique school surroundings. Bring a journal and come prepared to explore this special place!
