SUMMARY:2023 Inside Out International Conference Virtual Recap & Networking Event
DESCRIPTION:Join Children & Nature Network staff and peers for this live\, free event that will include networking and conversation about the 2023 Inside-Out International conference main stage sessions\, and more. View session recordings prior to the event and come with questions and insights to share. \nFeatured sessions include: \nTransformative Education: Building CommUNITY with Reciprocity and Restoration\nThis recorded session features local Colorado leaders Renée Millard Chacon – Co-founder/Executive Director of Womxn from the Mountain & Commerce City Council Womxn Ward 3 and Alicia Fall – Founder and Visionholder of Her Many Voices Foundation. They speak on raising awareness for restorative justice within and beyond our communities\, the power in the Indigenous culture of biodiversity\, and building sacred connections to the Earth and to each other. \nThe breakout room for this session will be moderated by a member of the Children & Nature Network’s Leadership Team. Watch the recorded session now.  \n  \nEarth Guardians on the Importance of Being Revolutionary\nWe are in the midst of a climate crisis and our young people are witnessing the world change drastically in their daily lives. In this recorded session\, Earth Guardians: Emmy Scott – Executive Director\, Maya Lazzaro – Communications Director\, Tony Pérez Soto – Regional Director Coordinator\, and Tyler Massias – Speakers Bureau Director & Farmer\, with Moderator Kellie Berns – Global Program Director\, share how critical it is to be visionary in reimagining how we work\, activate\, and mobilize and how we must all be brave in reinventing our systems and selves.  \nThe breakout room for this session will be moderated by Tanya Pappa\, Manager of Cities and Youth Engagement at Children & Nature Network. Watch the recorded session now.  \n  \nGlobal Lessons on Green Schoolyards and Outdoor Learning: Including Mother Earth as a teacher\nThe Children & Nature Network\, in partnership with Salzburg Global Seminar (SGS)\, the International School Grounds Alliance (ISGA)\, International Union for the Conservation of Nature\, #NatureForAll\, and the National League of Cities Institute for Youth\, Education and Families (NLCI)\, led a global project to identify and disseminate successful approaches on greening school grounds and outdoor learning. This recorded session focuses on the presentation of 13 case studies that highlight examples that have potential to be replicated in the U.S. and across the world to create sustainable\, inclusive communities. \nJoaquin’s initiative is centered on including Mother Earth as a teacher in schools with her “nature classroom” to help children develop empathy for life. This session includes: moderator Brenda Kessler – Project Manager\, Children & Nature Network and panelists Vastí Ferrari Marques – Secretary of Education of Jundiaí\, Secretary of Education Department\, Ian Mostert – IVN\, Johan Lambrix – Provinciaal Natuurcentrum Limburg\, Coordinator Team Education\, Joaquin Leguia – Asociación para la Niñez y su Ambiente (ANIA)\, Executive Director. \nThe breakout room for this session will be moderated by Brenda Kessler\, Project Manager at Children & Nature Network who moderated the panel at the conference. Watch the recorded session now. \n  \nNature Connection Builds Healthy Communities and Climate Resilience\nConnection to nature is a stepping stone to climate resilience. Families and communities who spend frequent time in nature\, playing together are inspired to conserve the biodiversity of their local ecosystem and in the face of impending or destructive climate events\, the community is able to work together to mitigate flooding\, replant trees\, rebuild homes\, and move communities uphill or inland. \nIn addition to being beneficial to the physical and mental health of families\, time spent outdoors together across generations also allows the passing down of traditional ecological knowledge and skills. This knowledge is essential to managing land and water and adapting to climate change. When youth have access to traditional knowledge and a voice in the work of climate adaptation work\, they can become even more creative and effective at solving the problems faced by their community and the world as a whole. \nThis recorded conference panel discussion shines light on the work being done in many communities\, organizations and collaboratives to connect people to nature\, build highly connected communities\, foster healthy people and families\, and increase climate resilience. This session includes: moderator Cheryl Charles – #NatureForAll International Co-Chair and Co-Founder and CEO Emerita\, Children & Nature Network\, and panelists Louise Benally – Director\, Indigenous Cultural Concepts\, Heather Kuhlken – Executive Director\, Families in Nature\, Maria Donjuan – Guide\, Families in Nature\, Luis Camargo – Founder & Director\, OpEPA. \nThe breakout room for this session will be moderated by Heather Kuhlken – Executive Director\, Families in Nature who was a panelist for this session at the conference. Watch the recorded session now.  \n  \nEcologize and Joyify! Supporting Thrivability for All\nThis is a pivotal moment in our culture of rethinking ways of being and doing. In this recorded session Outdoorist Oath’s co-founder\, José González and Executive Director\, Gabaccia Moreno along with moderator Francis Mendoza – Manager of Community Development at Children & Nature Network converse about the intersection of the planet\, inclusion\, and outdoor experience through a lens of sustainable ecology and accessible joy. \nThe breakout room for this session will be moderated by Francis Mendoza – Manager of Community Development at Children & Nature Network who moderated this session at the conference. Watch the recorded session now. \n  \nThank you to our 2023 Conference Sponsors\n

SUMMARY:Youth Leadership Development Inside-Out Workshop - Building Meaningful Youth Councils (Recording)
DESCRIPTION:Youth Advisory Councils (YAC) are a youth engagement strategy used by programs and organizations to positively incorporate youth voices and to help build the capacity of youth participants. In this session\, we will explore what makes a YAC successful and how to ensure meaningful engagement for youth. Join us February 23\, at 1 p.m. CST to hear from Tyler Massias from Earth Guardians\, Diane Lill from Conservation Nation\, and Kerstin Johansson and Ashleigh Cibelli-Pettus from the City of Austin on their experience with building relevant\, authentic and responsive YACs. There will also be space to engage in peer dialogue about YAC development. \nTyler Massias leads the Speakers Bureau within Earth Guardians. He is an academic and a farmer\, cultivating a meaningful relationship with the land\, while sharing his wisdom with others. He has spoken at conferences\, schools\, protests and rallies across the country; and is a defender and guardian of our only home. He believes that creativity\, empathy\, community\, and compassion are the values we need to form a holistic perspective in an effort to mitigate some of our world’s most pressing environmental issues. \nAshleigh Cibelli-Pettus is an International Certified Arborist and has worked in urban forestry for the last nine years. She has managed urban forest youth internships\, taught pruning courses\, and planted and stewarded thousands of trees. Her position in the City of Austin focuses on Urban Forestry Youth Education and creating pathways and opportunities for BIPOC youth into green careers. She strives to be a catalyst for diversity and inclusion in the world of urban forestry. Ashleigh was born and raised in the Bronx\, New York and graduated from Lehman College with a Bachelor of Arts in History and a Minor in Childhood Education. \nKerstin Johansson loves bringing people together and connecting over solutions to environmental and social justice issues\, and nowhere is that more evident than in her work with the City of Austin’s Park Ranger Cadet Program. Kerstin has been overseeing the Cadet Program since 2016. She\, with the support of many\, has transformed this program into a TEKS-aligned outdoor practicum for young adults at Akins High School\, a paid summer internship and apprenticeship. As of January 2022\, she is in an acting role to support the Austin Civilian Conservation Corps which is absorbing parts of the Cadet Program. Kerstin loves supporting and learning from the next generation of environmental leaders. \nDiane Lill has served as the Director of Education for Conservation Nation since September 2022. She has 25 years of experience in environmental education with expertise in building innovative programs and working with school systems to promote environmental literacy. Prior to joining Conservation Nation\, Diane led the development of the award-winning GreenKids program for Audubon Naturalist Society\, through which she formed strong partnerships with public school systems in the DC metro area to connect schoolchildren with nature and foster green schools. Diane’s leadership of GreenKids was recognized with a Bethesda Magazine Green Award\, a Distinguished Service Award from the Montgomery County Board of Education\, and a Chesapeake Bay Trust Award for exemplary grant work. \nThe Children & Nature Network seeks to support the leadership of youth and young adults ages 16-28 as well as provide resources and spur dialogue to help communities deliver high-quality programming and meaningfully engage youth. When nature connection and youth development are integrated thoughtfully\, youth thrive. The Children & Nature Network’s Inside-Out Youth Leadership Workshops create a space for conversation\, feature stories from youth and local leaders from the field\, and bring research and resources on the topic to light. By participating\, you’ll join a diverse and welcoming network of leaders who are eager to help youth reach their full potential as people — and as nature advocates. \nRegister for the February 23 event today!

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: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: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:Inside-Out Networking Mixer
DESCRIPTION:Join Children & Nature Network as we kick off 2021’s quarterly networking mixers. This informal virtual event offers some time to connect with others in the children and nature movement. C&NN staff will offer a brief welcome and then attendees will move into smaller breakout rooms to meet and connect with others. We’ll shake up the rooms periodically so you’ll have a chance to say hello and hear from even more fellow networkers. \nThis event is FREE but RSVPs are required.
