Activating Research to Make the Case for Equitable Nature Connection
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.
We 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:
- learn how to find, judge the merits of, and draw conclusions from research, using several of C&NN’s tools and resources
- learn strategies for effectively communicating a message that is grounded in the evidence, and
- practice articulating a brief research-based case in support of nature connection
This 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.
