Hello environmental education folks,

I invite you to consider both participating and which EE email lists and contacts you might share this invitation with (include below).

We are looking to form community around ecopoetics—arts-based and creative ways to explore our education work in relation to ecology and place. Do not feel that you have to be a ‘poet’! Or an academic. It’s going to be fun and exploratory.
You can let me know if you would like be on an email contact list going forward but cannot make these events. There is an RSVP link for attendance in the invite below.
My best,
Margaret McKeon
Doctoral student, Department of Language and Literacy Education
Faculty of Education, UBC

Good Evening,
Ecopoetics in the Garden is the first in a series of gatherings intended to catalyze a research cluster of likeminded individuals across disciplines and educational settings to consider the possibilities of renewing our commitment to land-based ecology and environmental education through a multiple literacies lens. We hope to develop collaborations that we can build upon for future initiatives involving ecology and arts-based practices.
