Connecting and Learning sessions aim to be a collaborative space for educators of all kinds.
This two part session is a space to share ideas, opportunities and challenges about land-based, nature-based, and environmental learning.
Session 1: Inclusion in Experiential Environmental Education
with Laura Sims (Ph.D) & Marie-Élaine Desmarais, Université de St. Boniface
Starting with an outdoor walk, we will identify what might be considered obstacles (physical, cultural, linguistic, socio-economic) to leading a diverse group in experiential environmental education, and then explore what can be done to help overcome these perceived obstacles.
Session 2: First Nations Games
with Norbert Mercredi, B.Ed., B. Phys. Ed. Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre
We will try some winter-season First Nation Games – inniwew matawaywina – games that are deeply important to First Nations language and a way to connect with leading a Good Way of Life – mino pimatisiwin.
