The Child and Nature Alliance Podcast

In the first episode of Learning to Listen: CNAC’s Reconciliation in Practice, hosts Petra and Monica engage with long-time Forest/Nature School practitioners and CNAC facilitators Kay Rasmussen and Sinéad Rafferty. They reflect on their experiences working with CNAC, providing context for the ongoing changes discussed throughout the series. The conversation touches on the challenges of confronting settler colonialism, truth, reconciliation, and anti-racism, as well as the need for more Indigenous and racialized voices in the field. Kay and Sinéad share their thoughts on community, the romanticized view of nature education, and the need for more inclusive practices.
