SUMMARY:CCCN Fall Learning Series: Cities Embracing a Framework of Systems Change to Connect Children to Nature More Equitably
DESCRIPTION:This webinar explores how long-standing systems of inequity contribute to inequitable access to nature for children of color in cities. \nThis is the first session in a 3-part series helping city and community leaders understand how to create citywide change towards equitable access to nature for all children. Participants will build a foundation for understanding how a systems approach can help cities and local partners achieve lasting change. They will explore the various levels at which change needs to take place with a keen eye on racial equity and how long-standing systems of inequity contribute to unequal access to nature for children. \nThe session brings together city perspectives aligned with experience from Cities Connecting Children to Nature (CCCN)\, a national partnership of NLC and C&NN\, Justice Outside\, a CCCN partner focused on advancing racial justice and equity in the outdoors\, and National Recreation and Parks Association\, a core partner of this learning series.  \nObjectives:  \n\nBuild fluency and understand  the conditions that make up the systems change framework\nShare successes and impacts from other cities in applying a systems change approach for equitable access to nature for children\nIdentify ways to leverage city plans or developing strategies for system change grounded in equity\nExplore local\, regional\, and state issues\, needs\, and examples for bringing about gradual changes in children’s equitable access to nature at the systems level\n\nAbout the series: \nWe know that nature makes kids healthier\, happier and smarter. Unfortunately\, not all kids have the same access to nature and green spaces. Longstanding conditions\, such as policies\, power dynamics\, resource allocations and systemic racism create unequal access to nature’s benefits\, particularly for kids of color and from low-income communities. Achieving real and lasting change requires a community-based approach to dismantling systems of inequity\, or in other words\, a systems change approach.  \nThis series will dive into how cities and their local partners can use a systems change approach to connect children to nature more equitably. The 3-part series includes two informative webinars that serve as a foundation for understanding a systems change framework followed by an interactive workshop for participants to apply the insight gained. \nPresented by: \n       \nIn partnership with:

SUMMARY:Global Lessons on Greening School Grounds & Outdoor Learning: Peru (Recording)
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the global movement for greening school grounds and hear best practices from our Peru case study! \n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nThere is growing momentum worldwide to make school grounds greener as a sensible and thoughtful approach to increase climate resilience and improve health and education outcomes\, especially for those most impacted by systems of inequity and environmental injustices. What are examples of success from around the world and what are the barriers to creating green school grounds at scale? \nWith this in mind\, the Global Lessons on Greening School Grounds & Outdoor Learning project seeks to engage with global leaders and practitioners to build networks of like-minded organizations and individuals to identify scalable strategies and deepen our understanding of how to support the worldwide movement of schoolyard greening. This project will collect information about school greening projects around the world with a strong focus on programs that practice inclusive planning and prioritize equitable access to nature while advancing environmental sustainability. With a growing number of international leaders in the children and nature field\, we believe that documenting the field\, sharing experiences\, research and best practices can help galvanize the green schoolyard movement and support our partners to make a broader case successfully. \nOn September 14th\, we’ll share from our first global case study\, Peru. Hear from Joaquin Leguia and our Global Team as they share experiences and lessons learned during their on site visit. Joaquín Leguía is founder of ANIA\, a Peru-based NGO working to promote active empathy for life and sustainable development through innovative initiatives that connect children to nature and empower them as agents of change. A key initiative of ANIA is to develop and support Tierra de Niños (TiNi)\, or Children’s Lands. TiNis are child-led\, nature-filled spaces where children learn to nurture life and biodiversity\, find restoration\, and enhance well-being for themselves and the natural world. Often found on school grounds\, TiNis can also be implemented at home and in communities\, in urban and rural areas\, and in various ecosystems. \nThis event is part of Children & Nature’s Inside-Out Leadership Series which serves to educate\, connect\, and inspire people at every stage of their career.

SUMMARY:Nature's Power in Healing Trauma (Recording)
DESCRIPTION:How can nature and outdoor access support healing? With today’s youth facing a growing mental health crisis\, this conversation will focus on how nature-based activities and therapies can support children and young people’s well-being and help them recover from trauma. We will hear from Dr. Hanaa Hamdi and Kimiko Russell-Halterman who are both working in different spaces connected to this topic. \nDr. Hamdi has more than two decades of experience in public health administration\, research and community development practice. She is committed to advancing health equity across underserved populations through comprehensive and holistic approaches —including integrating nature everywhere people live\, learn\, pray and play. Dr. Hamdi serves on the Children & Nature Network board of directors. \nKimiko Russell-Halterman is the Environmental Educator for Brown Girl Surf\, who works to build a more diverse\, environmentally reverent\, and joyful women’s\, girl’s\, and gender expansive surf culture by increasing access to surfing\, cultivating community\, amplifying the voices of surfers of color\, and taking care of the earth. She is also currently pursuing graduate studies focusing on equity and justice in environmental & outdoor education. Kimiko attended UCSB\, where she studied Environmental Science and Education\, fell in love with teaching\, learned to surf and spent as much time as possible playing in the sea. \nThis inspiring discussion will be followed by audience Q&A. \nOur Fall Inside-Out Leadership series hosts conversations between people with similar experiences working to address similar problems\, but in different spaces or with different approaches. Our aim is to make these conversations interdisciplinary\, intergenerational and perhaps a bit unexpected\, connecting leaders who might not otherwise be connected to share their points of view and demonstrate commonalities.

SUMMARY:Building - and Rebuilding - a Movement (Recording)
DESCRIPTION:What does building a movement mean and\, once the momentum is there\, how do we evolve and respond to meet changing needs? This conversation brings together Marlow Baines\, Youth Director for Earth Guardians\, and Richard Carlbom\, co-founder and partner of United Strategies\, to share their successes and challenges\, and discuss what it takes to sustain meaningful change. \nUnder Marlow’s direction\, Earth Guardians — an NGO working to empower youth leaders at the intersection of environmental and climate justice — was able to dismantle and rebuild its infrastructure to solidify youth-centered leadership. Through Marlow’s efforts to elevate the voices of her peers and after a long\, coordinated effort of the Earth Guardians Youth Council to engage in anti-racism work\, the organization took a giant leap forward in 2021\, evolving from a U.S. based nonprofit organization to a truly global NGO. As Youth Director\, Marlow helped implement the vision of the Earth Guardians Youth Council and redefine the role of youth leadership within the organization. She currently leads the Choose Action Now campaign\, empowering youth leaders ages 15-30 to take action in their local communities. \nRichard served as the Campaign Manager of Minnesotans United for All Families\, the official ‘Vote No’ campaign that helped Minnesota become the first state in the nation to defeat a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The $13 million effort proved to be the largest grassroots campaign in Minnesota history. After successfully securing the Freedom to Marry in Minnesota\, Richard served as the Director of State Campaigns for the national Freedom to Marry campaign. Overseeing a 34 state public engagement and education strategy\, Richard traveled to 28 states to provide support to local leaders trying to secure marriage equality. Richard brought his first-hand knowledge of research and strategy to the table\, paired with his work to help pioneer long-form conversation-based campaigns that changed the hearts and minds of individuals when it came to their support for marriage equality. \nThis inspiring discussion will be followed by audience Q&A. \nOur Fall Inside-Out Leadership series hosts conversations between people with similar experiences working to address similar problems\, but in different spaces or with different approaches. Our aim is to make these conversations interdisciplinary\, intergenerational and perhaps a bit unexpected\, connecting leaders who might not otherwise be connected to share their points of view and demonstrate commonalities.

SUMMARY:Youth Development & Nature Connection Framework (Recording)
DESCRIPTION:The saying 1+1=3 rings true when it comes to intentionally integrating youth development with nature experiences\, the benefits of each and produces new outcomes for youth to reach their full potential. Join C&NN to explore effective and inspirational practices at this intersection that are greater than their individual parts and to map your organization’s progress toward achieving positive youth development outcomes through quality nature engagement. Featuring conversation with Therese Ryley from Southwest Conservation Corps and Shandiin Nez from Continental Divide Trail Coalition. \nThérèse d’Auria Ryley or “Tess” is the Program Director for the Southwest Conservation Corps\, Los Valles\, which serves the Upper Arkansas River Valley and the San Luis Valley. Tess oversees general operations of the corps while developing new programming that address historic inequities that have been pervasive in the conservation industry. Tess was a 2021-22 Keystone Policy Center Systems Impact Institute Fellow where she collaborated with non-profit workers and educators across the state of Colorado to address systemic inequities to improve programming and educational opportunities for Colorado’s youth and young adults. In her free-time\, Tess enjoys hiking and trail running all the trails in the Upper Arkansas and San Luis Valleys\, and reading all the fiction. \nShandiin Nez is a member of the Navajo Nation\, currently working out of Gallup\, NM\, on Dine and Zuni lands. Their connection to the land was formed by an early introduction to outdoor recreation and cultural practices while growing up in the Four Corners region with hiking\, fishing\, fossil searches and hunting. Before joining CDTC as the Southern New Mexico Policy Fellow\, Shandiin worked with groups like Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps\, Southwest Conservation Corps and the Student Conservation Association in a variety of roles alongside agency staff\, communities\, Tribal Nations\, Indigenous youth and volunteers to not only steward trails\, but ensure that the trail community is an inclusive one for all who want to enjoy the outdoors.
