“The outdoors are not neutral”. “Social justice and environmental justice are siloed - we need to disrupt that”

Join a walking interactive story journey centred around how to work in a trusting partnership that links race and place in outdoor environmental education and climate justice. Follow a path of critical friendship and thought partners as they share the messiness and success of lifting joy and justice. Grounded in research and in practice, topics like reciprocity, GAP analysis, challenging conversations and impact will be shared through the lens of our shared experience doing this work in Ontario.

Each participant will walk away with a copy of Race and Nature in the City: Engaging Youth of Colour in Nature-Based Activities as well as a Partnership Toolkit, designed to help support organizations work alongside partners to offer more accessible and relevant programming and learning opportunities for youth of colour.
