Engage your students in a national dialogue on climate solutions!
GreenLearning found twenty-five high school classes from across Canada to participate in a national youth inquiry and dialogue on climate solutions. This innovative program built on the success of our Ontario Student Dialogue and gave youth a voice in creating a low-carbon and prosperous Canada.
Students conducted inquiries into climate change in their communities, supported by GreenLearning resources and experts. It engaged them in authentic learning and inquiry, starting in their communities. They then meet in regional virtual seminars, collaborating with other students to synthesize their findings. In a virtual town hall, students presented their findings to government leaders.
This initiative was well suited to science, geography, world issues, religious studies, environmental resource management, and more. GreenLearning also provided professional development, resources for students to conduct their inquiry, and free access to tech support for all virtual events.
