Interactive Workshops & Training
DEI Outdoors offers a range of virtual and in-person workshops centered on organizational culture, equity and justice, and access to outdoor spaces. Our workshops use experiential and interactive approaches to ensure participants leave with tangible takeaways. Book these workshops for webinars, conferences, keynotes, or other events.
Base Camp - Our Core Offerings
We offer a foundation of four workshops to help lay the groundwork for diversity, equity, and inclusion in your organization. These core offerings are a good choice for organizations just beginning their DEI journeys or have had a long pause between other DEI trainings. Each Base Camp workshop builds off of the next. These workshops include:
Creating a Culture of Learning - Here, we create a brave space to foster learning about these vulnerable topics.
Communication Across Differences - Then, we discuss strategies to communicate with our team members, establishing shared language and terminology.
Bias & Identity - In this workshop, we engage in more real-life scenarios and learn how to respond in different situations.
DEI Toolbox - Lastly, we put learning into practice as we cover topics like bystander intervention, de-escalation training, personal boundary setting, and self-management resources.
So What Now What Strategic Planning - For groups like the Board of Directors, we work through activities to turn vision into action.
The Summit Series - Become a Partner in Transformation
For organizations looking to dive into more specific areas, we offer a range of learning modules that go beyond the basics. Some of these include:

Our Approach
Comprehensive & Holistic: The content of our workshops is less about checking off a box for annual staff training, and more about developing a foundation of learning and growth for the entire organization.
Collaborative: We engage participants in co-creating strategies and solutions, ensuring that the workshop outcomes reflect the needs of your entire team.
Actionable: Our workshops are interactive and participatory, focusing on providing tools and strategies that participants can use beyond our time together.
More Information
Each interactive training lasts about 90 minutes and can accommodate up to 25 participants per trainer. Adjustments will be made to cater the content to your organization’s needs and culture. For more information on workshop descriptions and learning objectives, please email info@deioutdoors.com.
