The Child and Nature Alliance Podcast

Promising Practices Part 3

Child and Nature Alliance of Canada Season 2 Episode 10

In this powerful episode of Learning to Listen: CNAC's Reconciliation in Practice Forest and Nature School Practitioners Parisa Rahimian and Anne Azucena share intimate stories about nurturing children's understanding of complex topics like identity, race, and reconciliation through outdoor learning. 

By embracing curiosity, using storytelling, and allowing children to explore their environment, they demonstrate how nature can be a profound teacher of empathy, respect, and connection. Through personal anecdotes about creek adventures, encounters with wildlife, and thoughtful book discussions, Parisa and Anne reveal how outdoor spaces become classrooms for understanding our relationships with each other and the Land.
