Jennifer Engbrecht

Jennifer Engbrecht is of settler and Red River Métis heritage (and a citizen of the Manitoba Métis Federation) living on Treaty 1 Territory. She has had an interest in the environment, and infusing nature and science into music classes for many years. Recently, after teaching music outside for an entire school year, her philosophy of teaching music was transformed to include learning outside as an inspiration for musical learning for her students, as well as music and the arts as inspiration for how to communicate to the hearts of others. Music and the arts have a way of sharing from deep within; a wonderful way to create rich engagement to helping our earth. Jennifer is a member of the executive of Educators for Climate Action Manitoba, who provide professional development each year to inspire other Manitoban teachers to bring nature and sustainability to their schools.
​In 2024 Jennifer had the honour of presenting for Learning for a Sustainable Future, and for the Manitoba Chapter of UNESCO, the latter of which will had soundscape created by students that was played in connection with a 'climate Artivism' work at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in May 2025. Jennifer has also presented at the Take Me Outside Conference in 2024 and 2025.
