Outdoor Learning Conference 2026

Recognizing and nurturing the natural gifts of children and youth can transform educational spaces into places of belonging, growth, and cultural affirmation. Grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems and holistic approaches to learning, participants will engage with strategies that honour each learner's unique strength, whether through storytelling, land-based activities, creative expression, or relational teaching.

Facilitators will share examples from community-based programs and personal practice, highlighting how culturally responsive methods can support emotional, spiritual, physical, and intellectual development.

Through reflection, dialogue, and experiential activities, educators will leave with tools to foster inclusive environments that celebrate identity, build relationships, and empower learners to thrive. Ideal for educators, program leaders, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of holistic, strength-based approaches rooted in Indigenous Ways of Knowing.
