Harmful and discriminatory language refers to words, phrases, or expressions that demean, exclude, or marginalize individuals or groups based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion/belief, age, or disability.

This includes slurs, derogatory terms, stereotypes, and microaggressions that perpetuate prejudice, reinforce systemic inequalities, or create hostile environments.

What is Outdoor Experiential Education?

“Learning in the outdoors not only offers a unique context for learning but also provides experiential learning outside the classroom to foster a connection to local places and to develop a greater understanding of ecosystems.”

“Natural and human-built environments can be used as sites for discovery, problem-solving, and active learning, as well as for first-hand experiences that put students in touch with nature. “

“Environmental Education Scope and Sequence of Expectations” Ontario Ministry of Education, 2016
