Engaging Our Grounds
Conference: September 16–18, 2011,
Berkeley & San Francisco, California
The gree
n schoolyard movement is growing rapidly and flourishing around the world. Schools near and far are reimagining their grounds, replacing their extensive paved surfaces with a vibrant mosaic of outdoor learning and play opportunities. Schools in many different countries are leaders in this field, finding innovative ways to weave curricula into their landscapes, diversify their recreational offerings, enhance their local ecology, and reflect their unique location and cultural context. The first International Green Schoolyard Conference held in the United States will be happening this weekend! Invited visionary leaders of the school ground movement from Europe, North America, and Japan will share their experiences, case studies, and best practices.
