about Rebuilding Community: CIS Ontario’s Experiential Educators Reconnect and Innovate in 2023
Experiential Educators' Network Conference
Imagine getting to be the student for a day and exploring all the wonderful programming you can bring back to school, to enhance your experiential learning programs. Past conference activities in an urban environment have included cooking classes with Syrian refugees. Or, for outdoor education components, educators earn about “forest bathing” or fire building and other “risky play,” opportunities to help reduce kids’ anxiety. The Experiential Educators' Network members make connections with like-minded colleagues, bounce ideas and experience a showcase of program ideas for other member schools.
