SUMMARY:IE Webinar: Inclusivity outside the classroom
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 26 November 2024\, 15:00 CET \nIn our efforts to create more inclusive spaces\, it’s essential to ask: what does true inclusivity look like? This talk will delve into the principles and practices of inclusive environmental education\, with examples of both outstanding achievements and missed opportunities. Together\, we’ll explore the power of multisensory interpretation in making nature and science accessible to all. I will showcase the award-winning Cape Leopard Trust’s innovative approach with ‘Footprints in the Fynbos\,’ a resource tailored for various abilities and translated into multiple South African languages. This project integrates accessible materials like dyslexic-friendly fonts\, Braille\, audio\, and sign language\, enhancing literacy and environmental understanding for differently-abled children. A showcase of how science is communicated by breaking down barriers\, fostering inclusivity and a deeper connection to nature. If you would like to join for this webinar\, register here. \nChris Eksteen is a passionate advocate for people with disabilities. His dedication became apparent when he sought a suitable toy for a family friend’s young boy who had visual impairments. When requesting assistance from a toy store salesperson to locate toys for visually impaired children\, he was met with the response\, “Children who are blind do not play.” This disheartening encounter highlighted the widespread misunderstanding around people with disabilities. Motivated by this incident\, Chris pursued a master’s degree in environmental education. His studies revealed a broader exclusion of visually impaired individuals from environmental education in South Africa. Today Chris has 20 years of experience in the environmental education and conservation science sector\, with a deep understanding of the nonprofit world. He is especially passionate about monitoring and evaluation\, organizational development\, program rescue\, and strategic problem-solving. Currently\, he is the Chief Operations Officer for the Cape Leopard Trust in South Africa. \nPhoto Credits: NPR
