: Stories aren’t just shadows we tell around the bonfire. In many Indigenous traditions, stories are laws, maps, memories woven into land itself. As we traverse through Ziibiing and High Park, explore how oral stories function as a uniquely transformative form of pedagogy and how they are linked to land, memory, and identity. 

What if classrooms are actually parks, rivers, and neighbourhoods? As we stroll through Toronto Music Garden and Dufferin Grove Park, let’s reimagine teaching as a piece of praxis that lives between theory and story, sound and silence, garden and chalkboard. In doing so, we can model what it means to teach from place, not as a setting, but as a relationship. Not as a destination, but as a direction.

On , we pass the mic to youth from coast to coast of so-called Canada who are mobilizing, advocating, and educating in the face of the climate crisis. Their climate action is unfolding across high schools, universities, and communities. Listen to their stories about fostering connection and solidarity, overcoming eco-anxiety, and fighting for just and sustainable futures. Hosted by , this series was created and produced by OISE graduate students Emiko Newman and Megan Pham.

How can teachers best address the climate crisis? Why is this important, what do we need to know, and how should we 'be'? Who's leading the way here in Canada, and what can we learn from looking abroad? In the podcast series, hosted by , OISE graduate students Yana Lee and Jackson Fowlow have conversations with key players to answer these questions.
