Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (JEDI): Part 1 (The What and Why of JEDI)

Summary

This webinar will help you articulate what you mean when you are talking about JEDI and why it is important to your organization. This webinar is hosted by the Partnership for the National Trail System, the National Wilderness Stewardship Alliance, and American Trails.

Overview

Webinar Outline

This webinar is an introduction to the world of diversity and inclusion. Presented by the Avarna Group, a nationally known consulting group working with the conservation community, we begin the first of two webinars to engage stewardship groups on how to improve the openness of their organizations to others. In this webinar we define basic terms like justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, cultural competency, and cultural relevance, and then lay out all of the reasons why this work (which we collectively call JEDI) is important in the particular space in which the organization operates (e.g, outdoor education, conservation, land management, environmental advocacy, youth development etc.).

This webinar is hosted by the Partnership for the National Trail System, the National Wilderness Stewardship Alliance, and American Trails.
