2018 C&NN Leadership Summit: Full Schedule

The Children & Nature Network is inspiring the global movement to increase equitable access to nature so that children - and natural places - can thrive.

The C&NN International Leadership Summit will engage 400 people in productive working sessions in six action areas: Green Schoolyards, City Government, Next Generation Leadership, Grassroots Leaders, Healthcare Providers, Nature-based Learning Research. Summit participants will work over two days to develop shared goals, action agendas and explore methods for measuring progress in their Action Areas.

Since you are participating in a specific Action Area, your schedule will be completed for you-- this means that you will not need to sign up for any Summit sessions in Sched. By the beginning of May, we will link your Sched profile to your Action Area.

10:30am PDT

Nature-based Learning Research Action Area

Location: Skyline Room

The primary goal of the Nature-based Learning Collaborative Research Network is to accelerate research progress on the science of nature-based learning by setting a research agenda, catalyzing collaborative research to address the agenda and disseminating evidence about nature and learning. Members now seek to expand the network to engage a broader and more diverse group of researchers and practitioners to continue this work. The expanded NBLR Action Network will activate research to support equitable access to effective nature-based learning for all students and inspire and inform the broad children and nature movement and the field of environmental education through evidence-based communications and actions.
