Join the Waterloo Climate Institute and our partners for an immersive half-day interdisciplinary workshop where we step beyond the classroom and into meaningful, place-based learning. Designed for professors across disciplines, this experience blends practical guidance with hands-on engagement, including a guided bus field trip to local sites where you’ll meet community partners actively working on the land.
Through an Indigenous lens, participants will explore respectful approaches to outdoor and land-based learning while building confidence to integrate outdoor learning practices into their own courses. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be equipped to initiate collaborations with community partners, access resources and supports for planning outdoor learning, and adapt engaging, land-connected activities for your students.
No previous experience is required. Faculty members, education support staff, and sessional instructors from all disciplines are welcome. A light picnic lunch will be provided at our first stop. Space is limited—please register in advance.
