Theme: Experiential Education for All 

-It's no secret, experiential education is a powerful and empowering way of learning. With practitioners ranging from outdoor educators to adventure therapists, schoolteachers to recreation professionals, it's reach is wide and deep. Yet, there still exist barriers that prevent many demographics from being a part of the good work being done. The southeast 2020 regional conference aims to challenge these limitations and humbly explore how to create a more inclusive environment. That's where you come in! Help us foster an organization that represents the diverse people around us, where everyone feels welcome, included, and heard.  Join us at beautiful Camp Kanuga in 2020!

Rebecca L. Carver ABC's Award
Rebecca Carver was a dedicated and passionate experiential educator. She lost her life to cancer at a very young age but her passion for experiential learning lives on in the students she inspired during her life. Rebecca's work introduced the concept of the ABC's of Experiential Education. Rebecca viewed inspiring Agency, Belonging, and Competence as critical dimensions of the work of experiential educators. 

View more about this award!

Agency - represents the developing of students' personal agency - allowing individuals to become more powerful change agents in their lives and communities; increasing individuals' recognition and appreciation of the extent to which the locus of control for their lives is within themselves, and enabling them to use this as a source of power to generate activity.

Belonging - refers to developing and maintaining a community in which individuals share a sense of belonging - see themselves as members with rights and responsibilities, power and vulnerability; and learn to act responsibly, considering the best interests of themselves, other individuals and the group as a whole.

Competence - refers to the development of individual competence in a wide variety of areas (cognitive, physical, musical, social, etc.). Developing competence means learning skills, acquiring knowledge and attaining the ability to apply what is learned.
The Rebecca L. Carver Award is presented to an individual who actively promotes Agency, Belonging and Competence through her/his work in Experiential Education.
