Outdoor Learning Conference 2024

We step into the forest or out onto the land and many of us feel like we belong. But do our gender-creative, transgender and nonbinary children and staff experience that feeling of belonging too?



In this workshop, participants will gain knowledge of the complex intersecting identities transgender, gender-creative and nonbinary children and staff hold, and how this impacts their experience in outdoor nature-based play and learning. Together, we'll discuss structural changes, inclusive and kind language, and how to navigate tricky questions and facilitate conversations with children. We'll re-imagine and share our strategies in play and story for supporting a safe and gender-affirming experience in learning on the land.
