Event description
The Education Outdoor Conference is a major annual event that provides professional learning for teachers, educators and students within the Outdoor Education sector.
Due to the COVID-19 coronavirus the Education Outdoors Conference has been cancelled!
Because of the uncertainty of the coming year, we will not be rescheduling until at least May, 2021.
OV will now focus our undivided attention to helping the industry survive the challenges ahead, but later in the year will regroup to consider Conference 2020 (2.0?).
Because the urgent need to focus on nature and the effects of climate change is vitally important to all of us, we hope that next year's theme will remain the same as this year's. However, if we've learned anything in the past few months, weeks, and days, anything can happen and we may need to make theme changes.
Let's keep in touch, take care of yourselves, your loved ones and your communities
The team at OV
Leading with Nature
Amidst the effects of climate change, there is urgent need to focus on actions, and messaging that maintains and rebuilds human connection to nature.
By helping create positive experiences in, and with nature, outdoor educators are in a particularly unique position to lead the way for community. This years' conference will be about letting nature take the lead; to show us how best to examine and refocus our priorities.
OV has a team of passionate people building a different type of conference experience for 2020.
Whilst there will still be plenty of individual breakout sessions to choose from, the focus will be on working and exploring ideas collaboratively. Attendees can expect to be facilitated through a journey of connecting, exploring and acting for Nature.
Within the overarching theme of nature we’ll be exploring topics such as:
- our relationship to nature, as individuals, and as educators in the outdoor space.
- how to advocate for positive environmental practices.
- how to confidently address questions about the state of nature today.
- how to deepen our society’s relationship with nature.
