Outdoor Nature Programs in Canada

We are excited to announce that our members and guests we will have a unique opportunity to hear from one of our international colleagues, Debra Harwood who will share her knowledge and experience of ‘Outdoor Nature Programs in Canada’.

Debra was in Australia in 2020 but didn't make it to Adelaide before Covid restrictions forced her return to Canada.

Debra is an academic and early childhood education scholar at Brock University, Canada. Debra’s research is situated within a framework of challenging the social, political, cultural, and historical forces that have shaped central ideas such as care, professionalism, child agency, place, and intra-active pedagogy.

Her most recent project involves a study of young children’s entanglements within a forest, specifically examining how relationships with the more-than-human world might foster ways of being that support a more sustainable planet.
