Nurturing Nature in Education – Virtual Learning Series

It’s time to ramp up the environmental learning! The Sustainability Education Alliance (a collaborative of the New Brunswick Environmental Network) is hosting a free bilingual virtual learning series called “Nurturing Nature in Education.” The series will take place between February 11th and March 26th. These workshops are geared towards K-12 teachers across New Brunswick and they are either English, French, or Bilingual. In some cases, co-learning with the students is encouraged! Topics include climate change adaptation, Two-Eyed Seeing, forest health and herbicide spraying, eco-anxiety, sustainable development goals, and more.
