72: The Value of Immersive Environmental Education | CJ Casey + The Green Program
Tis the season for education, career shifts, and even back-to-school fever for those of us out in the workplace. Today, we’re speaking about the value of short-term, immersive experiences to build on your environmental education. Whether you are looking to dive deeper into your passions or learn about a totally new topic, there is plenty to gain from field stations, programs abroad, or bootcamp-style institutes. We are specifically today discussing our personal times at: * The Green Program (through which CJ went to Iceland); learn about CJ’s scholarship program here * Highlands Biological Station (but also mention Flathead Lake Biological Station and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute)* University of Illinois – Chicago’s Summer Institute for Sustainability and Energy * WWOOF, World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms Connect with CJ at @cjcasey3320 on Twitter + Instagram Listen to Episode 58, Careers in Climate Hang out with me on insta! @ecochicpodcast + @lauraediez Learn more about your ad choices.
