The overarching theme for the 2024 Outdoor Learning Conference is “Place and Pedagogy: Where Learning Happens”. This year’s Conference will continue to focus on Indigenous Ways of Knowing, Health and Wellbeing and Environmental and Climate Change Education.
The British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) will be hosting two New Teachers’ Conferences this year. One regional conference in Nelson and one Metro conference in Vancouver. The conferences are designed specifically for teachers and teachers teaching on call in their first five (5) years of teaching, as well as teacher candidates.
Bob McDonald, the esteemed author, science journalist, CBC Radio Host and renowned environmental advocate, is our keynote speaker for this momentous occasion. The evening session, open to the general public, aims to educate the public about sustainable practices and inspire action within our community.
The event will showcase youth sharing their activities and ideas on why we need innovation, action and hope for a bright future. It also features an innovation fair showcasing local initiatives by organizations, businesses and industry.
This event is a collaboration between several organizations including Mount Baker Secondary School, Selkirk Secondary School, City of Kimberley, and Kimberley and District Chamber of Commerce, to raise awareness and foster dialogue on local initiatives and innovations working towards a resiliant and sustainable future.
