Motorized AIARE 1 Jan 23-24, 2027 La Grande

Motorized Level 1

This course will utilize a hybrid model, in which all participants will receive online pre-course learning materials that should take around 4 hours to complete.  A Zoom session will be held before the two field sessions to answer questions about the pre-course material and cover the AIARE Framework and mapping tools.  It is imperative that participants put in the prerequisite time so they are prepared for the two field sessions.
