Recording of Dr. Gillian’s presentation on October 27th, 2021 where she discussed her work on imagination in the context of ecological education.
“The simple act of taking a walk—a walk with a curricular focus or purpose—can have multiple positive consequences—many of which are much more profound than we ever imagine.”
The Walking Curriculum is readily useable for teachers K-12. The activities described can be easily adapted and used in all contexts—limited additional time and/or resources are required. It reflects principles and practices of Imaginative Ecological Education as it offers walking activities that engage student imagination and cultivate emotional connection with place.
