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:Activating Research to Make the Case for Equitable Nature Connection
DESCRIPTION:Strengthen your case for nature connection! This interactive training you will help you enhance your skills in communicating support for policy decisions\, funding requests\, or programmatic changes. \nWe know nature is good for kids – there is a lot of evidence to prove that! How can you use that evidence to strengthen your case for nature connection? Through this interactive training with C&NN’s Director of Research you will: \n\nlearn how to find\, judge the merits of\, and draw conclusions from research\, using several of C&NN’s tools and resources\nlearn strategies for effectively communicating a message that is grounded in the evidence\, and\npractice articulating a brief research-based case in support of nature connection\n\n\nThis workshop is for any professional seeking to enhance their skills in communicating evidence-based information to\, for example\, inform policy decisions\, justify funding requests\, or elicit support for programmatic changes.\n \nCost: $45 general / $30 C&NN members (Not a member? Join today!)

SUMMARY:CCCN Fall Learning Series: Applying Systems Change for Children's Equitable Access to Nature in Your City
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this hands-on workshop to identify unique systems levers for cities to advance equitable access to nature for children. \nThis second session of a three-part series engages participants in applying a system change framework to their city or program. The session offers an opportunity to deepen understanding of the underlying conditions that often hinder change at a systems level. Participants will then workshop the tools and resources covered in the earlier sessions and apply them to their own work through smaller breakout sessions and work groups. \nIt is facilitated by experienced staff 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. \nRecommended prerequisite: Cities Embracing a Framework of Systems Change to Connect Children to Nature More Equitably Webinar \nAbout the series: \nWe know that nature makes kids healthier\, happier and smarter.
