Join S’enforester – Fostering Dialogue and Transformation through Outdoor Education in the Canton de Vaud, Switzerland, the fourth webinar of CIVIS Connect - a series of online seminars throughout the 2024-2025 academic year.

S’enforester is an organization supporting high school teachers in their willing to address challenges of the Anthropocene through outdoor education projects. These projects are constructed with teachers from various fields and are transdisciplinar as they open discussions with local-regional actors (municipality, forest services…).

S’enforester:

  • gives scientific and cultural tools with direct access to emerging knowledge and researchers,
  • helps with the logistic and administrative tasks,
  • creates a network between the high school, the local-regional institutions, the citizens, and others if needed.

The students have the opportunity through these projects to work with collective intelligence tools and to act positively on socio-ecosystems at the local scale. They can perceive the complexity of present-day challenges and win empowerment through knowledge acquired and discussions with professionals.

The CIVIS Connect series is brought to you by the CIVIS Open Labs and features eight monthly one-hour sessions focusing on key topics such as public engagement with research, challenge-led education, civic engagement, outreach, participatory research, and service-learning.
