SUMMARY:NEW! Listening to the Land: Deepening Nature Play Through Land-Based and Place-Based Practices
DESCRIPTION:NEW! Listening to the Land: Deepening Nature Play Through Land-Based and Place-Based Practices \nThis workshop invites early childhood educators to deepen their understanding of land-based and place-based learning as vital components of high-quality early learning. Grounded in current research and best practices\, participants will explore how children form relationships\, knowledge\, and identity through their encounters with the natural world. Through reflective dialogue\, hands-on examples\, and inquiry-based approaches\, educators will consider how the land acts as teacher\, how nature play supports holistic development\, and how responsive environments nurture children’s natural dispositions to learn. \nTogether\, we will examine ways to honour place\, culture\, and ecological relationships in early childhood settings and reflect on our responsibility—as educators and caretakers of the land—to nurture children’s connections with the natural world. Educators will leave with practical strategies\, inspiration\, and renewed confidence to weave place-based and land-centered learning into their daily practice. \nWorkshop Goals \nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will: \n\nDevelop a rich understanding of land-based and place-based learning and their significance in early childhood education.\nExplore how nature play fosters children’s holistic development\, curiosity\, and sense of belonging through meaningful engagement with the land.\nEquip educators with research-informed practices to design responsive\, inclusive\, and culturally grounded nature-based learning experiences.\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nCertificate of participation will be available to registered participants.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recording.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.
