Common Ground: A Collaborative Learning Initiative

Common Ground: A Collaborative Learning Initiative

The Common Ground Partnership is a collaborative professional relationship between Maine Early Childhood Outdoors (MaineECO) and the Bowdoin College Children’s Center (BCCC).

Rooted in belonging, this partnership advances nature-based learning that honors children’s identities, cultures, abilities, and lived experiences. Through shared professional learning and reflective practice, educators work together to remove barriers to outdoor learning and intentionally create inclusive environments where every child feels seen, supported, and empowered to belong in nature.
