Welcome to the 2026 Outdoor Learning Conference
Friday May 8, 2026 11:00am - 12:15pm MDT
As science educators, Bridget and Saba bring their experience of how our use of language reflects our values, influencing how we (and our students) perceive our relationships with the more than human world.
Ecoliteracy is not limited to understanding how nutrients cycle and climates change but also understanding our relationality and responsibility, inviting reverence and reciprocity into our ways of being and doing in the world.
Together the group will share eco-literate ways to interact with the world and explore the question: How can re-animating our language help to nourish our relationship with the more than human world and foster our sense of belonging?
