Meeting link will be sent to registered attendees the day of the session.

This is a rescheduled session and priority registration will be given to participants who were registered to attend the canceled December 7 session.

Seminar Description

Where do you begin to navigate the growing need for diversity, inclusion, and equity? In this session, we will explore one of the very first steps: moving beyond tolerance.

Participants will be invited to focus on their preferences and passion for the outdoors as they practice actively valuing "the other" and promoting positive dialogue around differences.

This session is designed for beginners and those looking for basic skills to put towards diversity, inclusion, and equity topics. Please note that this will addressed through a group activity that explores neutral outdoor based differences, rather than specific diversity areas.

Participants will not need to be on video, but will be expected to engage with the activities through chat and audio.
