Thinking about resilience in an education context is an emerging practice and one that is critically important for supporting both students and communities as they face challenges resulting from the impacts of climate change and extreme events such as floods and fires, as well as social challenges related to socio-economic conditions and access to educational opportunities. Resilience is a lens through which educators and our audiences can consider both the social-ecological components of a system and use this systems-oriented approach to consider inclusive solutions for current and future challenges.
Session participants will be engaged in thinking about, questioning, and discussing ways in which environmental education programming currently connects to resilience and explore opportunities to expand upon these connections. We will describe an inclusive, concrete approach to environmental literacy programming known as the Meaningful Watershed Education Experience.
