The Coastal Plains Outdoor School is partnering with others in the Gulf South Environmental Education Network to host our second gathering of educators and leaders in experiential, land-based learning in March 2023. This intimate gathering of people dedicated to building stronger relationships between land and people in the Gulf South region will be held this year at Chicot State Park. If you are working in nature-based, farm-based education or promoting such efforts as a community leader, this gathering is for you!
DATE;
Tentatively March 10-12.
THEME:
How do we build stronger relationships between people and land? What do healthy relationships and communities look like?
FORMAT:
The first gathering will be formatted around building relationships among attendees, assessing the terrain of experiential education in our region and creating space for discussion and collaboration. One way we are doing this is through “open space” format.
