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:Inside Out Leadership Summit Highlights
DESCRIPTION:VIEW SUMMIT HIGHLIGHTS!\nWe believe that the well-being of children and the wild places we love are inextricably linked. And while research tells us that regular time outdoors is essential for children’s healthy development\, today’s kids are less connected to nature than ever before. \nWe also know that longstanding systems of injustice have impacted the design and distribution of green spaces\, and call for new policies informed by Black\, Indigenous\, Latinx and other People of Color. Now is the time to strengthen our efforts to advance racial equity in access to nature. \nThis is why we gather—as leaders\, educators\, activists\, practitioners and parents—to turn the trend of an indoor childhood back out to the benefits of nature\, and to increase safe and equitable access to the natural world.
