Invitation to Review: First Draft of Position Statement for Opening Minds to Connect Children to Nature Campaign

Chicago Metro AEYC has embarked on an exciting venture with 70 other nature action teams and we would like to ask for your assistance. We were selected by the World Forum Foundation to lead this region in fulfilling a promise to the Clinton Global Initiative to connect two million children to nature worldwide in the next two years.

Chicago Metro AEYC has published a position paper supporting the importance of nature in children’s development. By connecting children with nature, we are opening the door to a world of creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving and pure wonder.

This draft is being submitted to the nature action team community partners and early childhood education communities for review and comment. The process has been iterative. We invite you to review this position paper and provide comments that will be used in the revision process.

Thank you in advance for your work. Your participation is essential to the process. Feel free to let others know about the opportunity to comment.
