These look like incredible programs. I loved the YA version of Braiding Sweetgrass.

Our charity is excited to confirm that we'll be hosting 3 exceptional Indigenous storytellers this January & February for 2 online courses for educators:

1) January 19 - 26: Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults Course for Educators with Robin Wall Kimmerer & Monique Gray Smith!

2) February 2 - March 2: Winter Storytelling Course with Richard Van Camp!

These are both held after school hours, and are recorded in case the live sessions can be attended. A certificate of attendance is accessible for the sessions attended.

You can find all of our upcoming professional development workshops, courses & certifications here: https://outdoorlearning.com/event/

We invite you to share these, and please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!
