    32 - Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education, Part Two
    Oct 23 2024
    Community Education Specialist Andie Springirth welcomes back special guest and Open Sanctuary Project contributor Dr. Emily Tronetti to discuss specific agency-supportive practices that sanctuaries can implement in their onsite educational endeavors to nurture the well-being of the residents and increase the effectiveness of their programming. In addition to exploring environmental-, resident-, and human-specific factors for agency-centered sanctuary educators to consider, this episode also highlights ways to center resident agency during onsite education that do not rely on potentially touching or being in close proximity to the residents. --- This Episode’s Referenced Open Sanctuary Project Resources: The Open Sanctuary Podcast - Introduction to Agency with Dr. Emily Tronetti | The Open Sanctuary Project The Open Sanctuary Podcast - Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education, Part One | The Open Sanctuary Project An Introduction To Fostering Agency In Farmed Animals At Your Animal Sanctuary | The Open Sanctuary Project A Guide to Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education | The Open Sanctuary Project A Guide to Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education: Asking Other Animals for Consent Handout | The Open Sanctuary Project A Guide to Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education: Reflection Workbook | The Open Sanctuary Project A Guide to Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education: Part One | The Open Sanctuary Project A Guide to Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education: Part Two | The Open Sanctuary Project A Guide to Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education: Part Three | The Open Sanctuary Project A Guide to Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education: Part Four | The Open Sanctuary Project A Guide to Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education: Part Five | The Open Sanctuary Project A Guide to Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education: Part Six | The Open Sanctuary Project Fostering Critical Thinking at Your Animal Sanctuary | The Open Sanctuary Project Fostering Empathy Towards Farmed Animals | The Open Sanctuary Project Understanding Biases that Can Negatively Impact Farmed Animals and How to Help Folks Overcome Them | The Open Sanctuary Project An Introduction to Educational Programs and Opportunities Well-suited for Microsanctuaries | The Open Sanctuary Project In-Person Sanctuary Educational Programming: What Are Your Options?
