Welcome to the 2026 Outdoor Learning Leadership Conference
Saturday October 31, 2026 9:45am - 11:00am MDT
How might schools begin the inspiring (and challenging) work of preparing young children for an uncertain future? What skills, knowledges, and practices will they need? During this workshop, we will work collaboratively with educational leaders in an emergent and responsive way to think concretely about uncertainty. We believe nourishing educational leaders with space to think in this way will help K-12 learners thrive in the already-unfolding future. Our session will include a story walk, a collaborative mind map, and a culminating discussion. This is inspired by two workshops we co-facilitated with BC educators in 2024, which you can read about here: https://accelerating-cce.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Climate-Change-Education-Otherwise.pdf
