Earth Force at NAAEE: Advancing Civics in Environmental Education Workshop

Attending the NAAEE Conference this year? We’ll be there too! Don’t miss our workshop on Advancing Civics in Environmental Education. (And don’t miss our exhibit! Two hints: tasty + spicy)

The workshop will be broken into four elements, each given equal time.

1. The first element will give an overview of Environmental Action Civics and Earth Force in a mixed media format, offering examples of Environmental Action Civics as well as key resources from Earth Force.
2. The second element will feature a guest speaker on the impacts that can be seen through using this authentic action-based learning. We will also do an investigation activity where we practice mapping our local communities.
3. In the third element of the workshop, we will have a guest speaker discuss how to prepare youth to ask for a change and speak to decision-makers. We will also share a new best practices tool that Earth Force created based on a Power Dynamics webinar we held with partners in late 2021.
4. We will wrap up with our fourth element, a Q&A with author Ken Kay on how to convince administrators to support authentic learning models such as Environmental Action Civics.
