Watershed Game Train-the-Trainer Workshop (Day 2 of 2)

Registration

Advance registration is required. You will be asked to select which training you would like to participate in. We expect we will reach capacity, so we ask for your commitment to attend if you register.

Review of materials (i.e., a presentation, video, and resource documents) is required prior to the workshop. These materials will be sent to you via email about a week in advance. Allow yourself approximately two hours to review all of the provided materials.

Description

Join us for a virtual Watershed Game (WSG) train-the-trainer workshop and learn to facilitate the WSG, along with other educators and water resource outreach professionals.

This two-day (October 25 and October 26, 2021) train-the-trainer workshop is for educators and water resource outreach professionals to learn how to facilitate Minnesota Sea Grant's nationally recognized Watershed Game. The WSG is a series of active, hands-on simulations for local leaders, educators, and students that demonstrate how they can address nonpoint source pollution and the effects of that pollution on community water resources.

Excess sediment and phosphorus are addressed in the original game versions. The new Coast Model incorporates excess nitrogen as an additional pollutant, as well as community resilience to flooding. Review the Watershed Game Information Guide for additional information.
