In the first in a series of two workshops that will focus on using reflective writing as a means of promoting diversity and inclusion. In this eeINSPIRE webinar, we will use brief excerpts from books as inspiration and take a little time to discuss and write about our personal relationships with nature and specifically look back at our own childhoods. We will then come back together to consider how reflective writing can strengthen our personal lives and professional work. How can reflecting on our personal experiences help us understand how we approach teaching and learning—especially when working with people who have very different backgrounds from our own? We will end with specific options to integrate reflective writing into our lives.
