This webinar is hosted by KidsGardening with High Country Gardens.
Part One:
Join us to explore developmentally appropriate ways to discuss climate change with kids at any age. Dr. Sheila Williams Ridge of the University of Minnesota and Ariel Maldonado of The Climate Initiative will share best practices for talking about environmental issues with kids, effective solutions-based communication tactics, and youth-led climate actions you can share with kids to help them feel empowered and inspired.
This webinar is part of new three-part webinar series on Climate-Friendly Youth Gardening. Gardens can be a powerful tool for helping kids to understand the science behind environmental issues and to feel empowered to help! Getting kids involved in sustainable, climate-friendly gardening teaches problem-solving skills, builds resilience, and reinforces feelings of agency. It can also give kids a much-needed sense of control, which is especially important in combating climate anxiety. Join KidsGardening and High Country Gardens for a three-part webinar series designed to help educators talk about climate change with kids and enable them to take action through a variety of climate-friendly gardening practices.
