Abstract

Drawing on our experience teaching a 2-week field-based geography course on urban environmental issues, we reinforce the value of field-based experiential education (EE) especially as it faces growing threats. We show how such experience can enable students to understand the diversity of urban environmental challenges in situ; grasp cities as sites of environmental sustainability; understand the innovative ways local organizations and actors – many of them Black, Indigenous, and People of Color – are addressing these challenges; and feel empowered to take part in environmental stewardship. Focusing on course design and delivery, we additionally offer a blueprint for course replicability.

凭借我们在城市环境问题上为期2周的基于野外地理课程的教学经验，我们尤其在面临越来越多的威胁的情况下，增强了基于野外体验教育（EE）的价值。我们将展示这种经验如何使学生能够就地了解城市环境挑战的多样性；把握城市作为环境可持续发展的场所；了解当地组织和参与者（其中许多是黑人，土著人和有色人种）应对这些挑战的创新方式；并感到有能力参与环境管理。我们着重于课程设计和交付，另外还提供了课程可复制性的蓝图。
