eeCourse: Justice Equity Diversity Inclusion EE(Online, Asynch, Jan6-Feb28)

This "Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion in Environmental Education" 8-week course (also known as JEDI 101) is designed to foster and support practices of racial justice, equity, inclusion, and diversity in the outdoors and environmental work. A significant part of our work at MAEE centers on cultivating collective impact and bringing people together to create a stronger and more inclusive movement. Anyone with the desire to experience, lead, or value outdoor learning and environmental education should have the opportunity to do so, regardless of race or ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, background, disability, economic status, or any other aspect of identity or circumstances. This JEDI 101 course explores research, resources and strategies toward safe, equal access to the outdoors for all.
