We are thrilled to announce that the day-long Inside-Outside conference will happen in-person once again! The conference will take place at the Chesterfield School in Chesterfield, NH. We are extending an invitation for workshop proposals for the conference.

The Inside-Outside conference is a celebration of nature- and place-based education and all who are redefining what is possible in elementary education. As we build school programs around place-based studies, outdoor science lessons, Forest Fridays and more, we are connecting children to the natural world, their local communities and big ideas.
