Overview: When it comes to identifying barriers to participation in the outdoors, the realization of inequity amongst underserved & non-traditional communities is often cumbersome & uncomfortable. In a new twist to diffuse the heavier aspects of equity engagement efforts, the co-organizers of this workshop will support attendees in unpacking some of the lesser-known barriers to accessing the outdoors through playful interaction & brave conversations. Aspects of this workshop will include movement-based methods to address concepts of equity and inclusion in R3. The final hour of this workshop will offer a whole group debriefing space to discuss revelations or difficulties that arose during the workshop. From there, smaller breakout spaces for people who prefer smaller group conversations, or conversations geared toward specific populations will be available.
Intended Audience: Students and Professionals; beginner & intermediate, but all could benefit & are welcome. Notetaking supplies encouraged.
