(Pre-Reg 30 OFFSITE) We All Belong in Nature: Ecojustice in Outdoor Education

Thursday February 20, 2025 10:20am - 12:40pm MST

Off-Site

We All Belong in Nature

Nature supports wellness in many ways, but not all students have equitable access to nature. Mainstream outdoor education is inaccessible, exclusive, and expensive. It perpetuates systemic racism, ableism, classism, heterosexism, sexism, cissexism, and sizeism. Many youth feel ignored, unwelcome, and unprepared in outdoor education.

Join Jaclyn Angotti, CPAWS Education Director, as we explore the concrete jungle downtown to demonstrate how to make outdoor education inclusive for all – no matter where you are! Learn how you can provide inclusive nature connection opportunities that support your students’ wellbeing. This outdoor session will help guide your role as a teacher in responding to inequity in outdoor education. Jaclyn will demonstrate how to take your favourite environmental lesson plans and apply cross-cultural guidelines to make your lessons more accessible for all your students!

LOCATION & PARTICIPANT PREPARATION DETAILS:
With our session set to unfold OUTDOORS - in the plazas and pedestrian corridors surrounding the Hyatt & Calgary Telus Convention Centre (H&CTCC), we will gather first at the Convention Information Desk area 15 minutes prior to the start of the session and then head outside as a group. If you are late, lost, or cannot make it, please text or call Jaclyn at 403-702-5929.

What to Bring:

Please bring writing utensils and a journal or clipboard, if possible.
As detailed in the safety section below, please come prepared to be active outside for 2.5 hours – i.e., wearing appropriate clothing & footwear, and outfitted with water & snacks.
