“AZGFD is a great resource for local educators from all types of learning environments. Whether you are a school teacher, tour guide, home school teacher, etc. any educator can benefit from concepts and activities presented at their workshops. Concepts are broad enough to apply to a variety of situations, but have a touch of local relevance as well” – Workshop Participant 2022<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

scheduled workshops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
