Inclusivity in Environmental Education
Description
Students from diverse backgrounds all bring invaluable lived experiences and cultural practices to educational settings. In this session, educators from the Smithsonian, World Wildlife Fund and International High School at Largo will share lessons learned through their nation-wide collaboration to support youth action and leadership for the environment. Panelists will describe the culturally appropriate and DEAI-informed approaches used with youth collaborators to ensure an inclusive and conducive setting for learning. You will learn intentional, practical considerations for language terms, activity types (and even snack choices!) to create a setting wherein all students can thrive.
