About this event
Teacher Workshop with Dr. Debbie Rhea with the Liink Project
This is a two hour interactive workshop covering several topics focused on healing children through recess/play. Recess, defined as unstructured, outdoor play will be discussed in great detail. Play has profound biological effects on children and adolescents. Consequently, this has direct effects on how they feel, behave, and function as they mature. Interestingly, play promotes survival, problem solving capabilities, joy, intellectual flexibility & dexterity, and social competence. Therefore, the topics of focus are:
1) the benefits and differences between unstructured and structured, outdoor play;
2) the necessary types of play to include;
3) healing properties of recess when offered with the child in mind;
4) adult role during play/recess;
5) playground/nature designs that children love to engage in;
6) Q&A.

New Braunfels - Texas Drought – The new normal? - CCCA Community Program
2022-11-09 18:00 - 19:30 UTC | McKenna Event Center, 801 San Antonio St., New Braunfels, TX, 78130, United States
Another year, another drought? Or more candidly, is drought a normal condition in Texas? As CCCA has focused this entire year’s programs on water, our final speaker for 2022 is none other than Todd Votteler, Ph.D. He will discuss the current drought and critical issues regarding the management of water in the future.
“Water defines Texas. It is our most vital natural resource. Its presence – or absence – has molded our state’s history and people. Often, it seems that Texas either is coping with too much water or too little. Recently, it has been too little; rainfall has been scarce for more than a year now in much of the state. Drought has returned to Texas….as it did in the 1950’s. But was it ever very far away?”
Dr. Votteler is President of Collaborative Water Resolution LLC, Editor-in-Chief of the Texas Water Journal and Texas+Water, and hosts the Talk+Water podcast.
