The Migration in Harmony Research Coordination Network invites registration for their webinar, titled Building Arctic Educator-Researcher Collaborations. This webinar will take place 9 September 2020 from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. AKDT.
In this webinar, led by Jennifer Chavez-Miller, attendees will learn how to reach out and partner with educators on public programming, how to foster effective educator-researcher collaborations, and how they can improve their communication skills for younger audiences. Jennifer will share her expertise of collaborations from over 18 years as a public school educator, including research trips to Svalbard and Finland, and a recent National Geographic funded education project Vamos Explorar: Conserving and Protecting New Mexico's Wild Places. Attendees will leave this webinar with next steps they can take to begin meaningful outreach to interest students in their field and create a path to participation.
